I became a caregiver initially because my grandfather was terminally ill and my grandmother was the only person in the family that knew how to take care of him and it was really a difficult time for her to have to care for the man she loved and watch him dying and no one else was able to relieve her when she would have her moments of grief. So when I became a caregiver I always look back to how she felt and it gives me pleasure on taking the burden off other people going through the same grief as she did. I feel privileged to be able to make the process of caring for someone's love one a little easier for them. I've been a cna for 18 years now and I always build a great relationship with my clients and their families. I know how to be compassionate and empathic and not judge the person or family in their decisions it have taken time but I have learned to realize that everyone's views are not the same.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
