I always give 100% and do the best job I can, with no exceptions or excuses. I also try to bring a sense of humor to my work. If I can add a smile or laugh to a client’s day, that means a lot to me. It is important to laugh. Being a caregiver is one of the most rewarding things a person can do. And such reward is always the outcome of caregiving, but never the motivator behind choosing to do it. I have a passion for putting others first. Seeing someone with a disability able to lead a happy, safe and fulfilling life is enough to make it all worthwhile. It is all about making small changes to your everyday life to make major beneficial changes to someone with a disability. Seeing them respond to their new environment and the care and love that shapes it provokes a feeling that must be experienced to be believed. And there’s simply no reward quite like watching the smile emerge and hearing their laughter. The clients and their family become your family, so you have the benefit of knowing you’re making a real difference to someone’s life.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
