I am patient and am able to read people well. I can balance the need for independence and need for care. My approach is to provide dignity and respect. I am adaptable and not afraid of a challenge. I have compassion and empathy and insight into others needs for privacy. I enjoy caregiving because it plays to my strengths and I am often enlightened by those I care for. I always look forward to learning something new about each individual I care for. I am observant, I listen closely to instruction and respect family member's wishes while only giving my insight and advice when asked for. When I am not sure what to do, I ask for support from well respected colleagues. People tell me I have a peaceful, calming presence that puts people at ease.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
