I've been a caregiver for sometime now, my natural ability to care and help others is the main reason why I chose this path. I have patience and really try to understand and connect with the people I care for. My mother is a caregiver as well, and watching her care for her clients inspired me to do the same. I completed a degree in Social Work and am looking to get more experience in geriatrics care so that one day my goal to open up my own residential home can be possible. The best part about being a caregiver is connecting with the person through their stories. I believe that everyone should be treated as people.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
