How can I find a 24/5 or 24/7 in-home caregiver/companion who drives in exchange for low rent in Upland, CA?

Certified Home Health aide or retired Nurse would be a plus. Covid vaccinated and background check.

You need to go to the labor board and find out your responsibilites as an employer because that is what you will be. IRS looks at CNAs as employees not self-employed so you will be responsible for payroll deductions and seeing that those deductions go to the correct departments. They can only work 40 hrs a week and OT is time and a half. So when they aren't working you need to do the caring or hire someone. Also, room and board is a perk. You cannot charge rent. If they drive its the clients vehicle with the client paying for the gas and upkeep. If their own car is used, then its so much a mile you pay them. They must be paid at least minimum wage and in my State thats $12 an hr. An an experienced RN, your talking $40 an hour at least with an Assoc degree.

If you are still having problems after 3 years, maybe its time to find a place for your LO. If they have no money, apply for Medicaid.

How exactly is this 24 hour a day unpaid Caregiver going to earn the money to pay you rent - if rent is their "payment"?

It would cost the caregiver money to help you.
You want the person to d r i v e too?
Gas may cost $40 per week, but now with gas prices it may cost $100 (estimated).

So very sorry that you are this desperate and needing help after all this time.

First
This is not an employment agency.
Second
What you are proposing is NOT legal.
Caregivers must be paid appropriately
Caregivers must be paid legally
Caregivers need proper hours this includes over time.
Caregivers can not work 24/7 or even 24/5
Third
I think you need to rethink getting and how you are going to pay for caregivers.
Lastly
Remove your personal information. Please
