I think I make a great caregiver because I'm caring,very understandable, patient, and kind. I have several years in experience starting from when my great grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's when I was 18years old. I knew then I wanted to help the elderly. I helped take care of my granny until I was 20 years old when she passed away. I then went and got certified to be an Nursing Assistant and I've been caring for patients since. I love what I do and I don't just do it for a paycheck. I think I make a great caregiver because I treat all of my patients as if they were my grandmother or my grandfather.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
