I am a great care giver due to my warm and empathetic personality. I am going to be a physical therapist, and I was originally attracted to care giving for the practical experience. I enjoy caregiving for the opportunity to meet and learn from the people who need caregiving and their loved ones. I value my time with my clients and I enjoy making them smile. I'm proud of the fact that my last client was always excited to see me. I'm also proud of my education and practical experience. I have a Master's degree in exercise science, and one of my projects was about developing a motor learning program for people with Alzheimer's. Unfortunately, the program did not take off, but I learned great skills to improve quality of life.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
