1) I became a caregiver initially to care for my grandmother who had a stroke and I discovered I was very good at it. 2) I like being a caregiver because I enjoy making a difference in the lives of those that I come in contact with. 3) The one thing I am most proud of is deciding to go back to school to get my degree. 4) I am a person who sincerely believes that everything happens for a reason and if there's a day that goes by and you don't learn something new, then it was a day wasted.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
