I became a Caregiver because there is such a need in every community. It's not just the client that needs assistance, it's the spouse or loved one that needs a break, or chance to get away once in a while to take care of their own needs. If they don't take care of themselves how can they care for their loved ones? The thing I like most is the one on one personal care and knowing I'm meeting a very specific need in someones life. A personal achievement was when I received a People Service award at my work for serving others. I was also awarded a Perfect Attendance award. I like to smile a lot. (It's contagious)
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
