Hi Dan,
Like you, I have a caregiver for 2 hours in the morning and 1 hour at
night. I pay $50 for the morning shift and $30 for the evening shift. I
currently live in Colorado but I paid much less when I lived in Georgia. I
imagine there is a lot of variation in pay based on location. I don’t pay
any differently for holidays but this has come up for me before. I’m
curious to know how others manage it.
