I became a Caregiver because I hope to be a nurse in the future. I thought becoming a Caregiver was also a good fit for me, is something I can do well, and is a great way for me to help others live well. I have been a Caregiver for over 4 years now in multiple settings and am proud of that. In my time being a Caregiver thus far, I most like the fact that it is so rewarding and that I truly can make a difference in the lives of the people I care for. Not only am I touching their lives, but they touch mine as well, as cliche as it sounds it is 100% true, and that is what I truly love about being a Caregiver. I am an honest, trustworthy, and caring person who strives to do her best and serve others to the best of my ability with strong values of integrity and respect. A core belief I have and incorporate into my life is to always treat others as I would want to be treated, which is how I approach caring for patients I come across as well. I believe every person is deserving of the best possible care and I enjoy being a person to assist in that. I am very passionate about this and intend to continue to make my life and career of it.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
