I have been taking care of my parents for years. It is a full time job. My father is 85 and my mother is 82 and suffers from dementia. This has taken a toll on my income, I can only work part time.
Katrin, the vast majority of grown children do not get paid.... unless your parents can pay you directly from their savings. If yes, then you would need to draw up an employment agreement.
Another option is to see if your parents qualify for Medicaid [which is different from Medicare]. If your State has such a program you could get paid, but please note the pay would be very minimal.
