I believe I am a great caregiver because I am just that. Caring. I'm here to help people in need, whether it's physical or mentally. Sometimes people just need someone to talk to. I'm not one to go the easy route. I will take my time and make sure everything is does correctly. I have a big heart for helping others! I became a Caregiver because it's a step to see if nursing is for me. Two summers ago, I had to care for my grandfather who only had two weeks to live. The nurses that came to help him were SO sweet. It touched my heart. If I had became a CNA at that time, I could have been the one to help him. I want to help give back to our elders the love they have given us. I will continue on with becoming a RN one day or a therapist, but I wanted to get my foot in the door and be in a type of nursing environment.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
