I decided to become a caregiver after taking care of my Dad. I felt like if I could take care of my Dad and see his private areas, then I could take care of others. After taking the CNA I realized that caring for others was a true passion. Throughout the years I have learned that being caring and compassionate can really make a difference for both a patient and their family. It makes the family feel comfortable about leaving their love ones care in the hands of a truly compassionate person. I have also been a patient as well for an extended period of time. So I have found myself able to understand both sides, being a patient and a caregiver.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
