1: patience, respectful, honest, caring. I am patience because people who need care take longer time to complete tasks. Good caregivers need patience to deal with anything from an elderly person. 2: it's my passion. I enjoy taking care of elderly people and would like to help others. I like older adults and feel I can get along with them. 3: what I enjoyed most is that I get to help families take care and spend time with the elderly. With me they learn new things and don't feel neglected. 4: personal achievement- I get creative when I have to, flexibility, determination. I assist with activities such as bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring and getting meals according to plan. Encourage residents to do as much of their own.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
