I became a Caregiver because growing up, I had been around my great grandparents. I learned how dependent they were on other people, and at a young age learned that they require a lot of patience and empathy. They are almost completely dependent on you and to be there for them we have to be strong, patient and caring. My main belief, to treat others the same way you want to be treated allows me to be the best caregiver that I can. I like the feeling of accomplishment after a days work of helping someone. A personal acheivement that I am proud of would be when I had my first nursing aide job. I had struggled the first couple of days, but within weeks I was doing great at my job, I was enjoying it and believe it or not I was training and helping others. This gave me a great sense of self accomplishment. I enjoy helping others, can be very hard-working, flexible, respectful, and honest.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
