I became a caregiver because my mom was a caregiver and I admired her for being able to build such a great relationship with the people she cared for and I was always so proud of my mom for doing it. I love the relationships you form with the people you are caring for you and I love that I feel great about myself when I go home from a long day of work. My personal achievement that I am proud of is that I was able to push myself thru full time schooling to get my MA degree along with holding a full time job and being able to take care of my 3 children at home.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
