I started caregiving when my husband's aunt lost her leg because of dietbetis. After she passed away I realized that caregiving was so fulfilling. It is so great being the reason for someone is able to remain in his or her home.I love talking to my clients and putting a smile on their faces. I literally saved a woman's life by getting to her and making sure she could breathe.I then called an ambulance and had I not she would have died. She had had a heart attack. I think it is totally rewarding making seniors lives more comfortable and less lonely. I treat my clients the way I would want my mother treated if this kind of care became necessary . I think my sensitive and gentle nature makes me great at caregiving. People may think that anyone can caregiver but in order to become a good caregiver takes patience and treating your clients with kindness and respect.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
