The reason for becoming and also what I like about being a caregiver is the same. I like to be there for people who may need a little bit of help. I can be from something simple as just listening to a story they want to tell to something more like getting them out of bed each morning and getting them washed and dresses. I am most proud of getting into the healthcare field in the first place. Although it can be demanding just knowing that you are helping to make someone day a bit easier for them is rewarding. I am currently in college studying to become a social worker and when I am done I want to get a career where I help the elderly community.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
