Strong empathy to surrounding individuals, compassion for life and everyone's feelings, pay strong attention to detail, ambitious, caring, willingness to go the extra mile. I've been a caregiver for over 5 years. My mother is severely physically disabled and needed someone to properly take care of her, that'll show up every day, who can be trusted and has the willingness and knowledge to perform tasks and duties. I like being able to make someone smile, to help them regain happiness and cope with their regression into older age. I know it's hard to accept limitations and I'm good at helping people to overcome issues that affect their capabilities. It's a great feeling knowing I helped them be more self sufficient or to know that I helped them be more comfortable if self sufficiency is not an option. I've helped my mother become less stressed and depressed. I've help her become comfortable because I know her needs and wants and cater to them as needed, sometimes before she even needs it.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
