My expertise that help me be a great caregiver is my experience working in this field and knowing how to respond to a certain situation and personally being a caregiver to my great grandmother having to help her around the house and take her to doctors appointments. The most enjoyable part of being a caregiver is seeing the smile on the person I'm caring for face. Being able to help someone and being a shoulder to lean on is the main thing that attracted me to become a caregiver. A personal achievement that I am proud of is graduating high school with both a diploma and EKG certificate.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
