I would consider myself a great caregiver because I had been taking care of my brother who was born with down syndrome up until last year when he passed away. While growing up with him I found a love for working with individuals like him. I found a love for career choice so I started working with the mentally disabled. I worked in the Hebrew Home for the aged where I also found love in caregiving for others. Knowing that I can bring peace and joy to others is why I love this field so much. Before my grandmother passed she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and dementia.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
