I became a caregiver as a stepping stone to becoming a nurse. I thought that it would provide me some insight into whether or not I would enjoy nursing, and now I love my job. I consider being a caregiver a career before my career. I enjoy spending time with those who could benefit from my services, as I feel I could benefit from their knowledge. I have the stomach to handle the harder side of the job, and the compassion to ensure that no patient of mine will ever feel uncomfortable asking me for help. I'm proud of getting my CNA license when I was a Junior in high school, and finishing out my senior year as a nursing assistant.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
