So live in care you are there 24 hours of the day, 7 days a week for x amount of time (could be a week or so). I know it seems daunting at first but it really isnt. You get your 2-3 hour breaks a day and you have time to sleep. Most companies allow 2 disturbances a night incase the person you're caring for needs anything, if its anything more then you'd need to take that back to the company. During the day, it's mostly making sure they are okay, have everything they need. I'm sure you will love it
Hii, i have been selected for a live-in carer but i dont have experience i'm bit nervous being a vegetarian. And i have one more question my contract is for 40 hours so rest of time of the week can i stay with my family
Hi! Really interesting videos, thanks! One question, did you have any previous experience before your first placement? I am really interested in becoming a live-in carer but only have some private experience. Thanks, and regards from Spain🙂
Heyy! Where are you based? If you'd like to message me on instagram where it'll be much easier for me to talk to you about it. Carlies.lifee :) Happy to answer whatever questions you may have
As a live in carer, do you have the option of owning your own accommodation that u return to after working 8-9hours. Or are u mandated to spend the entire 24hours in the client’s home
I have just employed a live in carer for respite and they need to be in the home overnight. So I don't believe you can leave apart from the 2 hour break.
So for live in, you stay inthat persons home until the end of your placement. Whether that'd be a week or 2 months (up to you how long you work) you usually get a 2 hour break during that day and you can do whatever you want there
So I did 24 hours but you would normally do about 7-8 hours of care during the day, maybe some at night. I use to do one - 2 weeks and then a week or two off
@@antoniohodo1015u literally live there for 24 hours 7 days a week and work and get paid only for 12 hours or 11 hours the pay is like 1,135 a week when I did it. It sounds good but when u do the math it’s only like 16.50 per hour 7 days a week so u give your life away for crumbs the time and the pay don’t add up but it’s good if u want to save or in school
So glad you uploaded this. I have an interview or a support worker job 16-18yo ..although it sounds quiet exciting I'm just worried about how much time I will have with my partner or friends ... or how challenging it may become to have your own personal life. Do you have this problem at all?x
Congrats!! You sill love it. I work away so sometimes I dont see my partner or family/friends for weeks. However, as I a support worker im sure you'll be doing shifts which means you'll go home at the end of the day. They ask what you can work so I would state to them the days you cant work
@Carlie'sLife hi Charlie, great video Lindsey I am physical disabled lesbian wheelchair user woman wheelchair user from Cambridgeshire, Uk. I have questions about your role job have cerebral palsy 36 I am currently receiving care from a Company not counting live-in carers the future but only thing I don't like the thought of careers living with me as don't need all the time do you Zoom or Facebook messageser wondered if it would be possible to chat some time about what really like? Best wishes Lindsey love always Lindsey ❤️❤️💗💗
Hey, that’s fine. If you don’t like 5e thought of live in carer, that is completely fine. Visiting care might be for you. You can reach out to be on Facebook carlie beesley I am more than happy to chat🥰
I got paid 1,135 a week u stay in the home 24 hours 7 days a week and work 11 to 12 hours but have to be there 24/7 u have no life but to live in at work all day every day. I stayed at my case a year to save money but work is your life. Really it’s like 16.50 an hour for the 12 hour shift but the pay was $216 a day $1,135 after tax a week which is cool but I was done with school and make that working a 12 hour shift and I get to go home after work and enjoy my weekends non like this job for same pay
We get paid everyweek but lets say you done a placement today until next tuesday. Whatever you done this week, will get summarised up on monday and will be in your bank the following monday
So how long did you spend looking after the same person at a time ? Is it a week with one person then another week with another person 😁 just wondering how it works week to week
@@CarliesLifee which agency is it? Because I am located in Maryland and am about to open an assisted living facility, so just doing as much research as possible, is there a way to contact you by email directly?

I have a part 2 up on my channel (if anyone sees this comment)
I'm interested in being a live in caregiver. I'm being told that the shift is basically 16 hrs, 7 days a week. How do you have time to do anything?

Would you be able to leave the house on your two hour break? And do things such as go to the gym?
Yes you can:)

Congratsss! You'll be just fine. How is it going?
I've done community care before, is it something like that, but with extra stuff since you are living with the resident?
Its quite similar, except we live with them for x amount of weeks
I’m gonna be working this next job I applied and they told me they was gonna get back to me I was gonna take care of the old people. Good job
Ooo, amazing!! Did you hear back?? :D
Hi! Really interesting videos, thanks! One question, did you have any previous experience before your first placement? I am really interested in becoming a live-in carer but only have some private experience. Thanks, and regards from Spain🙂
Hey! Great to hear! Becoming a live in carer is quite easy and with your experience, you can most certainly do it
@@CarliesLifee Really appreciatte it, thanks!!
I’m extremely interested. How do I get started?

interesting video thanks, do you have to get up during the night to provide personal care sometimes?
Yes I sometimes do. Other times i dont
As a live-in carer, would you live with the patient all the time? Just in case the carer has no accomodation
Yes you do. You stay with that person for however long your placement is
@@CarliesLifee how many hours a day do you cater to your patient? What is your work schedule like?
So I did 24 hours but you would normally do about 7-8 hours of care during the day, maybe some at night. I use to do one - 2 weeks and then a week or two off

Do you get paid during the night as you are sleeping there? Great video btw
The answer is no. Live in pay is a set rate! I know because I do live ins.
You can do live in care but nights only and get paid
Are you allowed to leave the house for a couple of hours for some personal time?
Yeah you are in your break times
So glad you uploaded this. I have an interview or a support worker job 16-18yo ..although it sounds quiet exciting I'm just worried about how much time I will have with my partner or friends ... or how challenging it may become to have your own personal life. Do you have this problem at all?x

As you are**
Live in Carer can bring their spouse and child ? Did they will get dependent visa ?
No you cant being spouse or children to placement
Do you have to have a high school diploma or GED for this job?
No you dont! Dont have to have an qualifications really to get into care. Places train you:)
Thank you for all that you do during this pandemic!!! 👏 🥰
Thankyouu🥰

Are you in the UK or in Australia?
Uk
Can someone please recommend which is best for job age care home or live care home?
I would say go for one, get some experience and then get a job in the other one
What is the weekly pay for this career and how long is the average contract?
It ranges from £600-£850/£900 a week! It'll be a 0 hour contract but you get lots of work. You tell them how long you want to work
I got paid 1,135 a week u stay in the home 24 hours 7 days a week and work 11 to 12 hours but have to be there 24/7 u have no life but to live in at work all day every day.

Are you a full time live in carer for the same person ? Permanently
When I did live in Care, I use to go back to the same people yes:)
So how long did you spend looking after the same person at a time ? Is it a week with one person then another week with another person 😁 just wondering how it works week to week
@@jane2242 you choose how long you want to stay with someone🥰
Oh ok, do you have to have a driving license for this type of job is it a must have
@@jane2242 nope its not a must have. It would be essential as it gives you more lee way but I dont drive and most companies pay for your travel
I enjoy this industry hoping I attract new clients soon. !😊
Congrats. It is such a great industry for sure
Hey do you work for a caregiver placement agency?
Live in carer so sort of the same:)
@@CarliesLifee which agency is it? Because I am located in Maryland and am about to open an assisted living facility, so just doing as much research as possible, is there a way to contact you by email directly?
@@CarliesLifee thank you! Just emailed you!
I was one for my mum who has fibermerlgia etc...she getting bit better tho bless her know the feeling 🙂
Im soooo happy that she is getting better! Insta dms are always open if you want to talk to anyone
Do you get any days off?
Hey not while im on placement, but I do get a 2 hour break. When I finish my placement, I have however much time I want off
I've been thinking about doing something similar, what do you find most challenging about the job?
@@MrJamesmanu kinda hard to point out the challenging parts because to me, theyre not challenging
@@MrJamesmanu ask as many questions as you want, I am more than happy to answer them in another video
Patient will be alone or there will be other family members in home
Depending on the persons care plan
I love this video. Can you have a nap when the service user is watching tv?
You probably could depending on the person you are caring for
JESUS IS LORD..
Read from your tea/ coffee cup
