What makes me a great caregiver? I'm naturally tenacious, curious, and have always had an interest in healthcare. I became a companion/personal assistant as a favor to a friend, and for extra income. I transitioned to my caregiver role as my client declined, and needed physical as well as memory care. I learned on the job and via research. I am extremely proud to have won over my last client, as she had trust and control issues. We began as employer/employee, and ended as close friends. I was with her throughout her steady decline, and at her bedside when she passed.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
