I became a caregiver because my mother was a caregiver for many years in geriactrics and also private duty and she enjoyed it so much that I thought it would possibly be something I would enjoy too and it was. I enjoyed being with the patients and taking care of them and helping them with their everyday needs. I found it very rewarding and also challenging sometimes but at the end of the day my client is very comfortable and happy. My personal achievement that I am so proud of is that the family members of my clients are very pleased in the special care I have given their loved ones. I am 54 years old and I take care of a beautiful mentally challenged lady of 66 years young in my home for the past 9 years and she has become part of our family. Caregiving is my life, it is the gift GOD has chosen for me and do it with pride.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
