About who needs care: My had a stroke and is dependent on you for everything. Her schedule and routine is fixed but you have the flexibility to bring your own style to it. The hours are set but if you need to come it at 10 and leave at 7 we work with the aides. I have a full time aide but we need help every other weekend and one weekday every week. Also, help with vacation coverage 1 week during the summer and helping her cover any trips we may take is important... it doesn't happen often but it does happen. About the care needs: I need a reliable aide. I know emergencies happen and sickness occurs but I ask that you attempt to come. I have tended to my aides sick child or played with them because her babysitter fell through because I can't move my mom and it costs us $300 a day for my husband to come home. If your sick but can move her I will care for you in between as well. We just have always worked together to make it work no matter what it looks like. I need this to be an extension of your family not just a pay check.
