I became a caregiver because I love to take care of people. I have been a caregiver/CNA for many years and I have worked in two different hospitals, a nursing home, and as of late home health care. Home health care is what I really enjoy because it is more one on one with the patient., and more laid back. I feel I can spend time with my patients and really get to know them., as well as give them great care and that to me is most important. I have a lot of compassion for the people that I take care of and patience., which to me is what makes a "good" caregiver. ~I am an easy going person who has a great sense of humor which in certain circumstances I feel it is important. ~ To be able to make someone's day brighter., and to make someone "smile" really means a lot to a patient.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
