[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having been through this, your expectations are way too high unless you are willing to make it full time and pay A LOT. I think you need to try doing all that with mom for 2 weeks and think about how realistic it is for a low pay job. it's easier to find someone who doesn't have to drive her around. You may want to hire a separate person just for doctor's appointments.

I found it worked best to be highly grateful for a fraction of the things on your list and to give tips if mom likes the person. You are lucky just to have someone kind to sit with her, make a snack and take her for a walk.[/quote]

OP here.  I'm not sure what gave you the impression this would be a low paying job. I was trying to get input on a fair rate  and was thinking in the $30-$35 an hour range.   I've done these things for my mom  for many years and my grandparents before that, all while working a full time
job. I fully understand what is required and will of course pay well.
