I have over 12 years experience working with special needs children and young adults. Over the years, this job has made me grow to be more compassionate, understanding, patient and empathetic to what one could be growing through. Caregiver has its rewards especially when you see a client progress well in health due to your input. One of my personal achievement is, I set a goal for myself to graduate within a year and I did it!! I believe with everything in life, you have to be determined to put the effort. Which also relates to care giving, you have to love the job in order to give your 100%. People depend on us to care for them but it has to begin with a positive attitude.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
