I have been working for a caregiver company for about 3 months. The pay is crappy (min wage) but right now its so hard finding a job in CA you have to take anything. I worked for a week for a family doing part time care who had just signed up with the agency. The family fell in love with me and wanted me to stay buy I was already assigned to someone else (just happened to be picking up extra hours until they found them a steady caregiver). This was about 3 weeks ago. Well today I ran into the daughter of that client at the grocery store. She told me that she ended up getting rid of the agency because she hated how almost every day they would send someone new and the last person DROPPED HER DAD. She said it must have been fate that she ran into me today because her dad LOVED asked about me all the time and they would love to have me back. She said she called the agency for nearly two weeks and asked for me but they kept saying I was unavailable....funny since I am always calling them asking for work and there never was any. Anyways, she told me they were paying the agency $18 an hour (HOLY SMOKES....agency was paying me $8). So to take her number and think about it and if I want a job then to call her. Well there are a few issues. 1. I still work for the agency (very part time ughh) 2. She is looking for full time care. I am a full time nursing student so I can't do mornings, only 3pm-11p On the flip side, I am a single mom and money is VERY VERY VERY tight. I was thinking if I took the job part time and just charged her $15 this would make a world of a difference money wise for me. what would you do? I told her I would call her back next week.
