I work 8-5 but willing to do a live in care for an elderly person in exchange for help around the home/meal preparation, in exchange for room board. Where do I begin?
Abusylady, your best bet is to call your metro area agency on aging to see if they have a list of folks who need care.
Wish I could give you more information, the website goes world wide, thus if there is a caregiver from Dallas-Fort Worth on-line who needs an extra pair of hands, it will be far and few between.
As for doing live-in, be careful, you could wind up working 3-shifts each day with very little sleep. Thus you would burn out quickly. It is so much better to go home at the end of your shift so you can be refreshed for the next day.
