I'm a young 19-year old gentleman that loves working with people and people with disabilities to make a difference in their lives. For that reason, I started working with Kokua and still do so as a Life Skill Instructor. What I enjoy the most about being a caregiver is getting know each individual client and making their lives that much easier in whatever possible way I can. I can work with another staff or independently with a client. I'm a quick learner and an informed learner, I'm capable of multi-tasking and work efficiently, capable of lifting well over 80 lbs, can cook, can perform personal care, and can do house cleaning. I've worked in highly stressful situations during my time at Kokua. I've recived recognition of a $25 gift card for working hard and helping out covering open shifts(60hrs/wk) while attending school full-time at the same time. I've also received recognition by my staff and coordinator of handling a stressful situation that my client and my life were in danger. I look forward to growing as a caregiver and making more positive impacts with the clients I work with or will be working with in the future.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
