I have been a caregiver off and on for 10 years. I worked for several companies over the years and went to private care the reminder of the time. I have always had patience with people and a desire to help. I love people and love working with them. I became a caregiver because I want to be a nurse. I believe in order to be a great nurse you have to start with caregiver to see what all you can deal with. The most I love about being a caregiver is helping someone. My greatest personal achievement so far is going back to school and getting my nursing license.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
