What makes me a great caregiver is that I listen to what the person need and want. I don't push my way of doing things on them. I'm very big on communication and being reliable. I work for two agencies whom like my work ethic. I would like to have more options to do more for my client/patients. Working with an agency is great but there are things a patient need help with like taking their medication and using sterile gauze the agency tells me I cannot do it for them and using my car to go shopping for them which is not allowed with the agency I work for. I believe in helping people to be at their best. I want the option to help people with everything within State laws.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
