- I am very patient to work with. I understand the ill condition of the client and I take time to work closely with them. I pay attention to details and give a listening ear to clients because that makes them feel important. I got attracted to being a caregiver when my grandmother was diagnosed dementia and passed away with the illness. It opened my perspective of what it feels like to care for other seniors suffering from similar diseases or illness. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is having the ability to impact others through caring and companionship. I am proud of where I am today. I'm almost done with college and I have four years of experience in customer service. I was able to start a little business on the side at the beginning of the year and I'm still running it on the side at my leisure time from work.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
