I became a caregiver because I love helping people who can't quite help themselves. I also became a caregiver due to the fact that everyone is going to grow older and at some point we all will need some help. I like being a caregiver because it's rewarding and just makes me feel good to help someone else. I have been a caregiver for about 5 to 6 years now and I really enjoy what I do. I would describe myself as an outgoing, laughable and caring person. I do like to laugh and enjoy myself as I am caring for someone else. I believe what makes me a good caregiver is I'm patient, kind, caring and lovable.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
