I became a caregiver because my grandmother was sick and I had to take care of her every day needs before I went to school and after I came from school. Being a caregiver is rewarding in that you help someone in need and just being there for them. A personal achievement I am proud of are my 3 kids... Love them dearly and to treat others the way I would want to be treated. I am loving, caring, respectful, understanding, patient and have a huge heart. I am CPR/fa certified, fire safety trained, graduated from Boces as a nursing assistant and been in the field for over 10+ years and most of all I love what I do.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
