I've been a caregiver for 13 years. I love this job because it gives me the opportunity for people to stay at home, nursing homes or anywhere they may feel comfortable.That's my nature and I'm a team player. I know I'm a great caregiver because I understand how difficult sometimes it can be to transition to Something different from my own experience. One of the reasons that I am so dedicated to this job Is because I took care of my mother that had MS for several years until she passed away. Another great experience I had was with a patient that I took care of for 6 years. He was disabled and bound in a wheel chair, that really made me appreciate life at its fullest.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
