How much does a caregiver cost?

But, hiring privately you run the risk of trouble with the IRS or Medicaid when needed. Check with an elder law attorney before considering private so it is setup correctly, legally, and you understand the responsibilities of being an employer.

I have to laugh at the way your question was worded.

"How much does a caregiver cost?"
I don't know. Never bought one before and I don't think they are for sale. People can't be sold or bought. Haha.

I am just joking. I know what you mean.

The going rates for privately hired caregivers are between $15-$20. Ypu pay more if you hire an agency.

It depends on if you hire through an agency or if you privately pay someone. You can look online for agencies in your area to get price quotes.
