Find Care & Housing
davidmpetri, one would pay a live-in caregiver no less than minimum wage for an 8 hour day. You would need to check with State Labor to see if a caregiver can work any over-time, like doing work after hours.

Make sure you have an employment contract drawn up showing what are the caregiver's duties, the number of hours she works, her days off [such as the weekends], and her hourly rate. Also check with your homeowner's insurance carrier as you may need to get a policy for "workman comp" just in case the caregiver gets hurt on the job. There are companies that deal with payroll so you don't need to bother with trying to figure out payroll taxes [yes, there is a fee].

You will also need to make note on the contract if you will be supplying meals since the caregivers now would be living with you.

If you find the caregiver the best thing since sliced bread, the give her a raise or a bonus.
