I became a caregiver simply because I love to help people in need. It makes me feel like I'm doing something right in my life when I can give back by helping. My favorite thing about being a caregiver I would have to say is the relationship I create with my residents or patients. They learn to trust me and I learn how to better care for them everyday. One of my personal achievements would be being favored by my residents or patients and even some family members. That really let me know that I must be doing something right with the way I care for them. If I had to tell you anything about myself it would be that I am a perfectionist in my work and I strive to do the best job I can in everything I set my mind to.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
