The good thing about being a caregiver is that you get to interract with people, you get to know them well , when i decided to become a caregiver was when my mom passed away , days before her being in the hospital i had to take her to the restroom , help her take a bath , go shopping by myself because she couldnt walk that much , make food even though when that happened i was only 15 or 16 years old , i was young but i would always help anybody that needed help. I am proud of myself because i didnt know how people felt until i came across helping others .
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
