I need a weekly caregiver for an hour or two. Does anyone have someone that works in different homes for short amounts of time?

This is a great question. Where I live, most staffing agencies have a 4 hour minimum. I would like to start a "care circle" in my vicinity and once established arrange with a staffing agency to allow neighbors to share those 4 hours (e.g. 2 hours with one client, and 2 hours with another). Time will tell.

This is an international forum. You have to call around in your area. Most caregivers request a minimum of 4 hours. They are trying to work full time plus no one wants to waste travel and gas money

Best of luck finding someone. This is a support forum.

You might try looking at nursing students. Students always need extra money.
