I became a caregiver because all my life I have been nurturing. So I decided to go to school for it, and it was easy for me. I actually watched people struggle in school, but it wasn't like that for me. What I love about being a caregiver is that bond between myself and the client after a while of knowing them. Also I love the work. I love taking care of people. An achievement that I am proud of is that I have graduated from The Academy For Practical Nursing and Health Occupations. Also I've grown to become an strong, loving, honest, and independent woman. Who is hard working, and love the work that I do. Not to mention I do my job very well.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
