How can I get paid to take care of my elderly In-laws?

Make sure their insurance pays for home attendants and get a license. It's not hard and doesn't take long. If they pay cash, talk to them and tell them you're interested. They're obviously family, so be careful when discussing such topic as pay.

It has always been my experience that people who dont want to pay are not worth working for.Senior citizens that want a challenge can get plenty of those by volunteering for the Red Cross or any one of a thousand charity orgs.That's where you can find most of them right now.

I'm not exactly sure where you get a work permit,but try the court house and places like that,maybe they can tell you. You can always do odd jobs like yard work,helping the elderly with things around the house,newspaper route, and etc.

You could try cleaning houses or offices.  On your own or through a service.  You could also try working in a mom & pop restaurant/business that has viable hours.  With this sort of job, you could get paid off the books.

i was a cert. nursing asst for almpst 20 years doing private duty for the elderly in their homes. you can go that route that way they get to have their privacy some of the time but have someone come visit on a daily or weekly basis, than you can still come off and on to visit see how things are going. i live in ohio now so differrent than florida but call home health agencies also they sometimes just have people like you letting them know if anyone needs the same thing ya know. also check paper an/or put an ad in the paper. under roomates. no matter what make sure you check them out background check etc, good luck

Advertise on craigslist.org\nCall some social service agencies that are in the yellow pages and see if they know of someone. Some assisted living centers match people up with aides. Call them

Call around and ask some nursing homes or long-term care facilities if they pay for the CNA class. Most of them do and you just have to work for them a certain amount of hours.

first go to a church and offer prayer and thanksgiving to God for making u what u r today and for all the blessings that has come your way.  \n\nthen u could go to an orphanage or a home for the aged and spend some quality time with them.  \nu could donate something if its within your capacity, but then most of all they would appreciate it if u could spend some quality time with them.  \nremember, they are more lonely than u are.  your company would be a mutual pleasure for all of u.  good luck and God bless.............

Be extremely careful when chosing nursing homes. There are few out there who truly care for their patients. Call social service organizations, bb bureau, and any place you can think of to check out her home. It is possible to find a good one for low income (I hope).

Check with local community services organization - they often organize homecare services with senior citizens

Baby-sitting and paper routes are good and can teach you responsibility.  Maybe you can offer your parents to clean out the basement and hold a garage sale or go around to the elderly in your neighborhood and ask if they need help running errands, etc.\n\nGood luck!

Why don't you offer services to senior citizens.  Run errands for them, light house work, grocery shopping.  It might sound like a lot, but it probably will make you some cash while doing a good deed!

You tried any of your neighbors to see if they need any chores you can do ,like cutting  grass,trimming hedges,any weeding or cleaning up around their place? Baby sitting,painting,window washing? You might be surprised? Figure your labor at $20 an hr on cuting and trimming using their equipment and if you have any mowers or shears and you use yours then it's $25 hr.Charge by the window when cleaning those. Remember to be kind to the old folks as their income is limited and sometimes by cutting them a little slack on cost will make you feel better as a person. Good Luck and may GOD Bless

Since you're alone with the 2 of them, make a schedule and place it at eye level in the rooms where you need to remind yourself of certain things. (Bathroom, kitchen, bedrooms, laundry room).\nSpend a bit of time each week making up a menu for each day's meals and a shopping list for what you need.\nKeep a magnetic shopping list handy on your fridge to remind you of anything you need to pick up as you go along (toiletries, meds)\nPick up a timer for meds (but most drug stores provide a pre-packaged dosette for meds and all you have to do is give them out when necessary. Can you ask for this service in your area?)\nI don't know what they are capable of managing but spend some time during the day going outside, weather permitting.\nWatch a short movie you would all enjoy or a favourite programme.\nDo they enjoy crafts? Have hobbies? Read? Play board games or cards?\nHave a quiet time, listening to music. Dim the lights, light a candle.\nLook at old photos, take new ones.\nStop for tea or coffee. Invite someone over to chat.\nIf you can manage, get a low maintenance pet. A cat or bird. It's amazing what a pet can do for housebound people. My mother has dementia and the nursing home has a cat and dog. She adores them and vice versa.\nAbove all, make some time for yourself. Is it possible to get some respite care a few hours each week so you can get a break? Your well-being is important too.\nI have elderly parents too and just visiting, taking them to doctors' appointments and looking after their affairs is exhausting. I also have a family and work. I wish you well and admire you for taking this on. Not too many people would. God bless.
