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.
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. : )
We see this all the time in Florida.
Tell the agency owners you want to do this type of care, not the advanced care.
