[quote=Anonymous]Do not report the caretaker to the agency. A side arrangement can be a financial win-win if you don’t care about not having the insurance coverage, etc. of the agency employer. I ultimately decided not to go that route, because I did not want to risk the caretaker, getting injured or something and then suing us. But it would definitely be cheaper and/or a way to increase hours of coverage. It’s super common. Do not write out the caretaker, because she will likely get fired and then your mom will lose someone that she likes. It’s not always easy to find a good fit. Try to understand that caretakers don’t make a huge amount of money and for them a side ideal can be a way to earn more for the hard, vital work that they do. [/quote]
