What makes me a great caregiver is that I truly care about people and want to help them. What made me want to become a caregiver was after my grandmother had a bad fall and could not walk anymore. So I became her cargiver after I got training. In working with my grandmother I noticed how slowly her friends less and less came to visit since she wasn't able to move around anymore, and it hurt my heart. So I told myself I will help and befriend all the elders I can. I love the stories your hear from different clients and just to be able to hear them say it was nice talking to you, your so much nicer than the last caregiver.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
