My mother is living with my sister in California and we pay I think about $25 an hour for help with eldercare. The person we chose only gets half, the agency gets the other half. Knowing what I know now, we probably should just hire people off of craigslist and give them a lot more money than the agencies give them but that would require a lot more vetting from us. These now unemployed caregivers could go on craigslist but of course without the name/insurance/reputation of some company behind them.
- LoSboccacc 9y agoi surance is a big expense for a caregiver. getting a serious one off craiglist means he'll have to pay insurance out of that 25$ and individual bargain for those kind of things sucks. the only alternative would be to get an improvised caregiver, but that's worse under almost every other aspect
- stevenwoo 9y agoAh, thanks, was wondering what I was missing from the math.
