Private family

Working with a private family as Caregiver of their Mom with Dementia is so far so good as they trust me  & appreciated my service to their Mom. Their house is accessible & big enough to be working around. 
Being their live - in full time worker I’m also given free accommodation to sleep at night. I’m also given free food & allowed to laundry my own clothes using their washing machine & drier with matching laundry soap as well. 
Respites are coming at daytime & it is my rest time as my schedule is at night time. The 2 daughters of our client have a house of their own & just visiting & coming to bring groceries & visiting their Mom or sometimes to bring their Mom to their house. 
I’ve work with the woman for 2 1/2  years.  It so happened that the doctor advised the 2 daughters to bring their Mom at the Nursing Home because lately their Mom is becoming weak due to some health issues. Somehow with my experience working with such kind of family, I can say it’s very rare to find such kind of people having an amazing kindness & goodness. 
 I got so stressful after & melancholy when my work ended. However, I accepted that nothing is permanent in this world. I need to keep moving & have a positive outlook in life that there’s still more nice employers I am to meet… God is good all the time! 🙏 🙏 🙏

Worked with school age children which included preparation for school functions,cleaning of home,laundry,meal prep,and activities with children. I worked at least 2 days a week and also helped family with things outside home as well. I enjoyed this job immensely as the children were a absolute delight. I truly miss working there. 

I thoroughly enjoyed this position . It gave me a sense of happiness helping a senior be able to continue to live in the dignity of their own home and maintain their happiness. This job was very rewarding. 

Working at private family's was through family and friends as a babysitter. There was no set salary. I was paid fairly years ago. Now the children are older and do not require a babysitter.

fair pay, supportive, did not exploit me. provided accommodation. flexible time off and good communication. I had autonomy at my work place. fulfilling overall 

Most of my co-worker are nice and helpful. My manager, supervisors and assistance manager they’re easy to approach, they listened if you have concern.
