I became a care giver because it is rewarding to help others with life, such as getting dressed, cooking, cleaning, driving them to their appointments and keeping the patient safe, and comfortable in their own homes. I enjoy making the patients happy and seeing the look on their faces when they are happy. I am a people pleaser. I became interested in care giving when my God-son became handicapped and I experienced it first hand, you don't really understand the little things that are a struggle such as incontinence, to eating that can be a struggle and it can be hard for people to ask for help because they might feel like a burden, I don't want them to have that feeling I love helping the patients so it is my pleasure to help. I am also a medical assistant so I can administer medication and impliment the medical aspect of treatment.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
