I am a very observant and attentive person. When it comes to detail I try to do my best. I am very open and kind, I like to make sure my patients are comfortable and if needed entertained. I don't mind sitting next to my patients and reading a book or two to them. Wanting patient-care experience as a pre-need student is what attracted me to caregiving. It is more one on one than working in a hospital where I am assigned 10-15 patients a night. I am able to give more specific care and also become more familiar with my care-taker and their needs. When I see a smile on their face when they are rested and well taken care of gives me joy. One accomplishment that I have achieved is working in a behavioral health hospital, which is the field I want to work in although not the exact setting I would prefer, but all in the same I am proud of myself that I was able to gain that year of experience.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
