When I first became a caregiver, I knew it was the job for me- it was love for the job at first experience. Years later, what keeps me coming back is that this is what I excel in. I am a great caregiver because I am empathetic but I'm also strong. I know how to hold space for people, which is allowing them to have their feelings and be validated in a way that often helps diffuse and solve potentially problematic situations. I could work in many fields, and I have, but as a caregiver, I know how to make a real difference. I know how to listen, I know how to help, I know how to handle emergencies. Personally, I am most proud of being a quick learner-it's helped me in the most meaningful ways.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
