How to hire a live-in caregiver?
Be specific
When hiring a live-in caregiver, be specific about what you want. If there are any skills, you want your caregiver to possess, ensure you state them clearly in the job description. In addition, state the pay and how many hours of care your loved one needs. Uncertain about the qualities you want your caregiver to possess? Study your older loved one and think of the caregiver he or she needs.
Ensure the pay is fair
If you want to interview only the best candidates for the caregiver role, ensure the payment stated in the job description is fair. When the pay you fix is below average, you may applicants that do not possess all the skills you require in a live-in caregiver. However, if you’re using an agency to hire a caregiver, the pay is already fixed, so you have nothing to worry about.
Conduct multiple interviews

Ask a lot of questions
