The medical field is what led me to become a care giver. At first I really thought I was not going to like it. However, every day when I showed up at work I put a smile on my face and gave it my very best. My job in the emergency room was filled with traumatic experiences, blood, and death. But what made it worth it, was all that surrounded those horrible experiences. Being able to help someone live another day made me smile inside. And before I knew it, I found myself loving my job. When someone's life depends on you, you forget about the outside world and to me all that matters in that moment is my patient.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
