Being knowledgeable in this field helps me be a good caregiver, having a very caring heart for my patients helps me get to know them on a personal level. By learning all their likes and dislikes. What attracted me to be a caregiver is the need and want to help others, whether it's a child or an adult or the elderly. I'm very passionate about what I do and love what I do. What I truly love about being a caregiver is when you have those one on one time with your patient and they open up to you, you gain their trust, patience is always the key.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
