Financial help for caregiver in PA. Are their any programs?

Really? Not sure if she would go for that but I guess I could run it by her. It's just the whole 'idea' of having to pay me, her 'daughter' you know, it's kind of like a husband 'paying' his wife for taking care of things. Is this something common? What is the rate most people pay anyway? This is so hard. Even though she has been helping me financially up ill now being that she's 'old school' she doesn't see it as 'paying' me, she sees it as 'helping me' which I of course appreciate but now to turn around and tell her I need her to actually pay me in a 'formal' manner, wow, not n sure how that's gonna fly, but I will certainly run it by her. Thanks so much for this information. I really appreciate it.

Yep. It's called she pays you. A written agreement to pay by the hour, by the day, or by the month and she does the payroll taxes.
