What makes me a great caregiver is that I genuinely care about the individual's I serve. I like to develop a connection with them. My heart goes out to those who are less fortunate than myself, so I always do the best that I can do to help them feel special and cared for. I really don't know what attracted me to being a caregiver initially, all I know is that it's a passion of mine and it's just a natural thing. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is knowing that when I leave my clients for the day, that I have done the best that I know how to do; that they are happy with the work that I've done, even if it's just sitting and talking to them and listening. I feel that I made some sort of difference.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
