I'm a great caregiver in part due to my level of compassion and patience, but also because I've had a multitude of experiences, ranging from skilled nursing facilities, a nonprofit teaching hospital, to a hospice. I was first attracted to becoming a caregiver through watching my mom, a nurse of more than four decades. What I enjoy most is making individuals comfortable and the realization that I possess the power to improve their quality of life. The personal achievement I'm most proud of is graduating college, all while juggling a full time job and an internship with a competitive grade point average.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
