I've been a caregiver for 13 years now. What makes me a great caregiver, I love what I do. I love helping others and that's what attracted me to becoming a caregiver. After taking care of a loved one until they passed on, I then knew I could make a career out of this. What I enjoy the most about being a caregiver is helping others who can't do all that they can for themselves. I also love sitting and listening to their stories and getting to know them. Getting to know your client is so important, especially their needs, wants, likes and dislikes. Caregiving is a huge personal accomplishment so therefore I'm proud of that.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
