Being a Caregiver is so rewarding and I love helping people continue living their daily lives as much as they did before they needed my services. I became a Caregiver because I really care about others and I have always helped people. I have a compassion for people and a caring attitude. What I like about Care giving is my ability to help others puts a smile on their face. I have helped elderly people who thought no one cared for them anymore. Knowing that someone cares brought about a change in their lives for the better. Currently I helped a elderly woman with getting her medications mailed to her. I also helped her sign up for physical therapy and nurse visits. She has a supplemental health insurance plan and because she is 87 years old communicating with others was difficult. I made the phone calls for her and now she is doing so much better. This lets you know how I am the type of person that goes over and above for people. I am persistent and organized. I enjoy what I do and dependable. It takes a lot of patience to help others in need and I practice each day patience and realize I am here to make sure others receive the services they require. I have been a caregiver for 20 years.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
