What makes me a great caregiver is that i am compassionate. I love what I do and enjoy giving back to others. I started out in dietary in a nursing home after my mom got me a job. My mom has been a nurse for 20 plus years so she really inspired me to become a caregiver. I love when i get to make a resident's day better. Sometimes that 3 or 4 hour shift with you makes a big difference to someone who doesn't have companionship. A personal achievement that i am proud of is my CCMA certification, the reason being as i grew into a woman i rarely finished things. But i am proud to have this title because it shows i finally finished something. And i am proud of myself.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
