I consider myself to be a very plesant person. I'm always smiling and or laughing and I feel that when I'm caring for someone I'm caring for them as if they were a loved one of mine. What drew me to becoming a caregiver the most was the people and knowing that I will be helping someone do what most people take for granted and for some it can be as simple as standing up, and I also enjoy helping others. My favorite part about caring for people is the look on their faces after you've helped them with something they can no longer do, most people are very grateful and that makes me feel that I'm doing my job. Personally I have been in the nursing home environment for about 2 years now (including working for clinical hours) and I feel like I've really gotten better at developing routines for taking care of people and my skills as a CNA. I'm very confident when I'm performing a task and I feel the residents need to see that when your taking care of them.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
