Currently, I am a caregiver at an assisted living community. I've been working there for over two years now. I've also had a life-long goal of becoming a registered nurse. All I've ever wanted to do in life was care for other people, old or young. Although being a caregiver helps me fulfill most of that goal, my goal won't be fully met until I actually receive my nursing license. I believe that to care for anyone in general, you have to have a certain level of compassion, empathy, willfulness and patience. I carry all of these traits mainly because this is a job that I'm positively passionate about. I want to be that person who makes a difference in someone else's life whether if it's physically, mentally or emotionally. I created this profile because I am in nursing school now and I'd like to be able to work flexibly around my school schedule.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
