The thing that makes me a great caregiver is I'm a very caring and patient person. I'm honest, dependable and very kind hearted. I got into home health a little over a year ago and currently work for two agencies. I've worked with the elderly and the disabled and with a couple of clients with dementia/Alzheimer's. I treat my clients with love the same way I would treat a family member and would hope that someone would treat my family member or myself. I feel sometimes I was destined to care for others because I seem to work in fields where I care for others like childcare.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
