This, plus household employees are generally super sensitive about things like strict rules, average pay, lack of autonomy. They are generally looking for the least amount of work for the greatest amount of money, as well as for the families that give them very broad autonomy and don’t micromanage.
They know someone who appreciates them and treats them with general respect and trust.

I know because my neighbor works in caregiving, and she has a ton of offers but it is very hard to make her stick to one. If her charge is difficult or annoying, she quits. If the relatives are cheap, she quits.
If extra duties are piled up on her without extra pay - she quits. 
She has one stable job where she is a live in, rules the roost, the daughter of the woman pays her a decent salary and a decent amount of food money, never really visits, her charge is immobile and has a cheerful personality etc. 
Its a skill to be able to retain a low pay employee with a good choice of other positions [/quote]
