Some of my best personality traits would be understanding, compassionate, motivated. I became a caregiver when my great grandmother got so old she couldn't care for herself. That gave me the drive to learn more about the medical field. I have spent almost 20 years working for Retina surgeons, Orthopedic surgeons, Pediatric, Glaucoma, Cardiovascular as well as Dermatology. My biggest personal achievements have been to provide all of my grandparents the best care I could give them until they were called home. I am currently a caregiver to both of my grandparents.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
