I feel what makes me a great caregiver is the fact that I am a huge people person, I am extremely reliable and goal oriented, very understanding, and I truly enjoy learning new things and picking up new schools to help me continue my job and get myself further in the field. What attracted me to caregiving? The overall amazing feeling I receive by being someone the elderly/patients/residents can rely and count on. What I overall enjoy about my job is the bonds and relationships I create, as well as all of the amazing stories and backgrounds I get to experience and learn about. Caregiving experience 6+ years, started out with Alzheimer's and dementia patients, working my way into the field to become an administrator and obtain my certification for administrative work. I aspire to be higher up and one of the higher ups.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
