I became a caregiver because coming from a small island we have extended families where taking care of our elderly is a norm. When I moved to the USA I realized that this is something I will be able and be good at as it comes to me naturally to care for people who need help with everyday care.The most I enjoy about caregiving is making my client happy and having them feel that I am there for them. Being at my last job for the last 14 years is an accomplishment because the I know that I did my best and performed my work to the best of my ability.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
