I have been working as a caregiver for an agency for over 4 years. I work between 80 and 100 hours a week.
I am a good caregiver and all of my clients have loved me. I treat my clients like they are family. The problem is that I don't get paid very well. No overtime or benefits. I just asked for a raise and was denied because the agency isn't making enough money right now, even though they make more per hour off my clients than I do.
I would really like to work independently, but I do not know how to go about finding private caregiving jobs.
I'm working like care giver for One agency so can you give more explication about these app please
Get your past employers/clients to write references
Then go on Care.com and create a profile and follow the prompts.
I do wonder, in this day without newspapers, what folks are doing.
I don't know how something like care.com works, and if they take folks looking for work. I do know that there certainly are folks getting hooked up on nextdoor apps because I am seeing that. Both those looking for some help and those looking for some work. I see them there.
Other than that, I wonder about stopping by some care facilities in your area and asking. Also about working for an agency for a bit and there connecting with folks and talking with them.
If you are taking any certification classes, such as CPR, I would think there are perhaps ways there to connect.
I sure wish you luck. Hope you will update us.
I'm a good Caregiver because I really do care about my clients. I'm honest and dependable. However this is such a hard job and the pay is pretty bad.
Thank you for the tips.
