I became a Caregiver years ago not knowing what it would be like. I knew I had a passion for caring for people and wanted to become a nurse one day and needed to start some where. I didn't realize when I started how much I would actually love it. I like being a caregiver because I think that people need to be cared for and in a loving respectful way. I think about my family and how I would want them to be cared for. I enjoy making someone smile or have a good day because I made their day better. Being a caregiver, I have learned so much more from my residents or patients then I could ever offer them. Being a Caregiver can be so rewarding to the heart and it's a job that makes you happy at the end of the day. I am in nursing school currently and a personal achievement for me is that I haven't given up even at moments that I don't think I can do it anymore. I have learned to take one day at a time and keep putting one foot forward. I am from a small town, which isn't so small anymore, and I enjoy time with my family and friends. I love to travel and be outside.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
