I almost had to hire someone to help with my mom, so I'm sure there's jobs out there. This brings me to my other question: My mom was my full-time job. I feel like she took me and my life with her. What do you do? I don't feel the same about anything. I'm scared I'm losing our house. I'm gonna be homeless and have nothing. It's my fault, I was a domestic voliolence victim. I haven't worked since the last attack that almost killed me, then l fell into place being her caregiver. I ended up loving it because it was what I already do, just taking care of are of my mom.
We see this all the time in Florida.
Tell the agency owners you want to do this type of care, not the advanced care.
Where we lived, I had been told by agencies - that they have a terrible time getting people, and that those they hire can pick their own hours and pick where they want to work. There is a shortage of Caregivers. Too many elderly, not enough Caregivers.
Good luck, this should go smoothly for you. : )
