One good personal trait that I know I have is I am a listener and good at getting companionship. What attracted me to caregiving was the fact that it's a circle of life you start as a baby learning things and you and older but you're still learning and I get to learn from them as well. The most I enjoy about being a caregiver is learning from the patient / families new things about life. A personal achievement that I'm proud of is the fact that I have been able to raise three children with the help of their dad but we just made a big move from Michigan to Kentucky to keep bettering our life.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
