I was a CNA for 12 yrs. I have worked in mostly nursing homes and Memory Care Centers, but I did go into home health care. I like to do home health care because you get to know that one individual. When your working for that one individual, you're able to focus and be more attentive to that patient's needs and wants. I believe what makes me a great caregiver is my experiences, my compassion and my willingness to continue to learn. I like to find out more about my patients, what they like, listen to them not just see them, but hear them out. I'm a hard worker. I'm trustworthy and I always do what I say I'm going to do. Reliable and a hard worker. The best thing about being a caregiver is knowing I help someone have a better day by just being there for them.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
