I'm a very friendly, people person as most say. I love being a caregiver and giving my patients the right type of care. I worked for Hospice a very long time and it made me value everyone's life more than I did before. Being able to take care of people is a great reward because not only do you feel good while giving good compassionate care but the patient feels good and so does the family. I feel as if you have to have a very good warm loving heart to be able to take care of people. What attracted me to be a caregiver was when I was a little girl and my brother was in a coma, he was treated with horrible care by the CNAs and Nurses; it actually thrived me to nursing school too. I always thought to myself how people can work a job without like that if their heart truely doesn't care. In this field of work you have to truely care and have the heart, love, and compassion.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
