A little about me, I never planned on caregiving, I didn't think much of it. I applied to a serving position at a facility because I enjoy personal interaction and relationship development with elder men and women. In my interview I showed them that I have great motivation and have a very caring personality. When I started to work as a caregiver I started to realize how deprived this field was for actual caring workers. It's very important to connect with your client so you have their full trust and can make sure they are being treated and cared for properly. My favorite part of the job were my clients, I made wonderful friends and got to hear amazing historical life stories. Sometimes you will come across difficult clients, but it's an amazing feeling to break through their wall and really connect with them, to be able to help them as much as you possibly can. I am proud of all the residents I was able to assist and the relationships we built.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
