I became a Caregiver because when my late Grandmother was down, I took the liberty in helping her get around to the doctor's, neighbors houses, church, (ect). I moved in with her so I could cook, clean, attend her grooming needs, and did her shopping and paying her bills. What I like about being a Caregiver is seeing the faces of individuals who know someone is there who cares about them and their well being. My personal achievement would have to be my clients doing something on their own or showing me their strength in getting something correct. Time and patients is all they want...and a some tender loving care. I'm 34 yrs old and been a caregiver for 13 years but was working for a disabilities and special needs board for 8 years. I just love it.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
