I am a retired federal agency employee, a single parent with children still at home. While they are in school, I would like to help/assist someone in the immediate neighborhood or nearby neighborhoods to occupy my time and do something beneficial for someone else. I did the eldercare in my family prior to having a family of my own. I cared for both my father and paternal grandmother, both of them, while working a full-time job. My grandmother lived to be 102. My father lived to be 80. I did the cooking, cleaning, yard work, driving, shopping, etc., for my seniors, just as I have done it for my children as a single parent.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
