I believe that I am a great caregiver because I have worked with the elderly professionally for one year, but two of my family members have had dementia/Alzheimer's so I gained a lot of experience from that. I am kind, patient, compassionate, and I have a huge heart for the elderly! I have always had close relationships with my residents at the nursing home that I work at. I wanted to be a caregiver because I love to take care of people and I feel like I give very intentional care which is something that my family members did not receive. I like to be the best at everything I do, and I am proud to say that I give the best possible care. I love to be a companion to the elderly as well. I enjoy talking about their lives & things that they have accomplished. Something that I am proud of that I have done is maintaining my CNA job for over a year. It is hard work, but I genuinely enjoy doing it & I trust that when I am at work, my residents are receiving the best care which is rewarding in itself.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
