I believe the traits I have that make me a great caregiver are my kindness and compassion. What attracted me to be a caregiver first and foremost was the opportunity to help my paraplegic grandmother with anything she needs. She is one of the most important people in my life and to be able to be there for her as a part time job brings me so much joy. The thing I enjoy most about caregiving is just being able to make life easier for people. A personal achievement I am most proud of is finally making enough money to completely move out on my own without the help of anyone else.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
