I believe my strongest traits as a caregiver are patience, empathy, and strong communication, which help me build trust and provide supportive, attentive care. My experience working as a Patient Care Technician (PCT) at UVA in the PACU and as a daycare teacher has strengthened my ability to adapt to different needs, stay calm under pressure, and care for individuals across all ages. I also earned my degree in Sociology from Radford University, which has given me a deeper understanding of human behavior and diverse backgrounds. I was drawn to caregiving because I genuinely enjoy helping others and making a positive impact during important or vulnerable moments in their lives. What I enjoy most is forming meaningful connections and seeing the difference I can make, whether it's comforting a patient or supporting a child's growth. One personal achievement I'm proud of is gaining hands-on experience in both healthcare and education settings, which has shaped me into a well-rounded and compassionate caregiver.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
