I've always enjoyed helping others and taking care of people.you have to have the right mind set, it's so much more than a job. I try to think of it as I'm watching over my own family. I treat my clients how I would want my family taken care of. In the fall of 2012 I went to a local community college and proceeded to complete my CNA class. Upon completion of the CNA program I began working for an in home health care business. I loved my job, I believe you should go to work everyday loving what you do. However I wasn't making much income, therefore I proceeded to find another occupation to better support myself. I am currently looking for another caregiver position so I can continue to do what I love.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
