1. I became a caregiver after assisting with my Father's care. He had a massive stroke which affected his right side and speech. I assisted with preparing meals, transferring from hospital bed to wheel chair, from wheel chair to recliner, changing his catheter, diapers, feeding, hygiene, etc. 2. I like caregiving as it allows the client to remain in their own home rather than any of the alternatives. Allowing the client to be in familiar surroundings during their care. 3. Becoming someone who is able to communicate well, understand their needs, follow through with the client, friends, and family. 4, I'm a loving, kind, caring, compassionate, empathetic, person who takes caregiving as my way to allow clients to remain at home during their care. Being able to show compassion with both them and family members. Communicating clients wishes to family members they have shared with me which might otherwise be unknown. I'm able to complete all tasks requested by the family. The ability to make the client as comfortable as possible while in my care.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
