My personality traits that help me to be a great caregiver is that I have patience, compassion, interpersonal skills, flexibility, loyalty and reliability. What attracted me to becoming a caregiver is when I had a sudden responsibility to care for my grandfather. It was at that moment I knew that I wanted to help others on a daily basis. The most enjoyable part for me as a caregiver is knowing that I am making a difference in someone's life. Caregiving is more than just the daily task of helping people bathe or dress . It is the personal interaction that gives people hope. My most personal achievement that I am extremely proud of is, over the 25 years of providing care and making patients smile when they need it the most. To me that moment is an achievement in itself.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
