What makes me a great caregiver is my complete honesty, integrity, punctuality, dependability, friendliness, and over all very responsible. What made me become a caregiver after being in the driving industry for over 20yrs? Taking care of my Mother for 7 months who had diabeties, was in a wheelchair from limb death, early stage dementia and heart disease. What do I like about caregiving? Knowing I can give excellent one on one care for someone in there home and make there last years so much better than if they had to leave all that is familiar to them. Personal achievements I'm proud of: 1) CNA License with Nurse Delegation, CPR-First Aide, HIV & Aides, Mental Health, and Dementia Certificates. 2) CDL Class A Driving License with all Endorsements. Keeping a clean driving record. 3) NEVER being in trouble with the law, drank, smoke or did drugs. NOTE* My hourly rate is $25/hr daytime & I charge $12.50/hr for night time on a 24hr shift, and any major Holiday is time and a half. You might think it's more then others charge, but the saying is usually true, "you get what you pay for"!
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
