Hello I think something that sets me apart from a lot of caregivers is that I really do care for the people that I look after. I feel that many caregivers just show up to work and they forget that they are dealing with humans that have feelings. What got me interested in this line of work is I had a friend that received really bad care in a hospital while staying there and I thought to myself what a blessing I could be to someone that was in pain and how I can take care of them. What I love most about this job is the people I look after. Everyone is so unique and different it makes my job just the same, unique and different.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
