Pediatric Private Duty Cases

Published

I just recently started a long term pediatric private duty case. This case is Monday through Friday 2:30pm to 10:30pm. My patient is 10 years old and will be with this company until she dies or whatever may happen. The client resides 30 minutes away from my home. I am so excited to be working again. I just thought I'd share my joy.

Why would you need a business license? As long as you have your license transferred to California that's all you'd need.

I have worked private.duty for an agency that hired independent contractors. Some agencies take less liability that way. Although I dont know about CA.

I have a regular four night a week account, and then float the other two or three nights. Sometimes, I will grab an evening shift on an easy kid. I do not like to chase kids around, so don't work day shift.

Usually good for 50 to 60 hours a week.

Gotta work overtime if you expect to make any $$, as rates are super low ($25/hour with no benefits and no shift differentials / weekend differentials).

So basically you work 6 to 7 nights at $25 an hour which is good. I work 5 days a week at $22 an hour and I bring home $3214 a month which is decent. This job is the most I have made doing pediatric private duty. I too also do not have benefits because this company is Medicaid funded so I have to get outside health insurance. I do not get paid time and a half for holidays. I do have sick pay but I only get 2 hours every paycheck so per month 4 hours of sick leave accumulate.

Thank you for sharing. I do not know how independent contracting works.
