I believe the main reason I became a care giver was because I was raised by my grandparents and I always knew I would be the one to take care of them when they couldn't take care of themselves. I think being a care giver gives you responsibility that no one else can say they have. I can't think of a more satisfying and loving career. One thing I am very proud of is finishing my cna training and being able to start looking for people that I can help on a day to day basis. I think I am an overall very giving person. I realized since I was a young girl that I would always be a giver and not a receiver and to me that's very important.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
