I wanted to become a caregiver to better peoples lives and to bring more happiness when I am with them so they do not feel helpless. I also wanted to become a caregiver so that I can reach my goal of becoming an RN to further help people. I like being a caregiver because it has opened my eyes to what a lot of people go through or have gone through. I love talking to the residents/patients and hearing about their past and what they like to do. A personal achievement that I am proud of is that I have nine certificates towards the health care field without starting my RN classes. Something about myself is that I graduated in January and have been working at Homme Home of Wittenberg for the Aged for about five months.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
