What makes me a great caregiver is the fact that genuinely care about the people I work with. I put myself in the shoes of others and think carefully about their situation. No matter what issues I may come across, being able to provide for people and remain available for them is what is important to me. The reason I became a caregiver is because I believe that people deserve to be taken care of properly. In my lifetime, I've witnessed countless examples of neglect, hardship, and loneliness. But being a mother of three has taught me how to be a provider of love, care, an open ear, and a strong shoulder to lean on. To me, care-giving is an opportunity to play a supporting role in people's lives. Simply put, my children are my greatest achievements. The experiences and skills I've gained are invaluable, and I continue to learn from them everyday.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
