I have a quiet, and more-so patient personality. I got into caregiving when in my young adulthood I had started taking care of both my grandmother & great-grandmother as they both started needing more help as they got older at the same time which also led me to getting at least a certificate of completion of cna classes so that I could help them even better while managing to keep them out of facilities or hospitals as time progressed. I can understand wanting to keep your family close to home, wanting to do as much as your can to be there for them while still juggling other responsibilities. I guess I just like just helping .
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
