I am great with people. I have never worked in the caregiving ballpark but I have done plenty of customer service jobs and I get along with most people. For elders I find it to be something I especially like to take care of them because they can't take care of themselves. Caregiving is not for everyone but I know this is the job I want and I want to grow with this job, meaning eventually I want to becoming a CNA and after that possibly a nurse. But for now starting out as a caregiver is a great start and I am currently a caregiver but am not getting paid enough to make ends meet and that is why I would like to find another company and once I find one I can put in my two weeks where I am at now. I have had about 5 or 6 clients and each and every one has recommended to the company that I come back, and I take pride in that because I strive to make my clients happy and comfortable.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
