I believe as a caregiver, one has to be concerned about the mental, emotional, psychological and physical health of his or her patient. What makes me a good caregiver is that I am not only there to provide a service, I also enjoy having conversations with my patients, which is a great way of keeping their minds occupied. I became a caregiver twenty years ago in order to support my family. However, I have since gone back to school and received an associate in psychology and is currently doing my bachelor's in the same field, which is also the thing I am most proud of.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
