Pros

There are part-time opportunities available. You can work when you are available or have free time. Most of the calls you get are not last minute and you can plan your work week. Often, you have the same client over a long period of time so you get to know your client and their likes and dislikes, which makes you a lot more productive and the client much happier with you. You don not have to have any experience to apply; in fact, most of the work is just common sense, and the client often helps you along, or suggests ways to make the job easier. This is definitely a "personality" matching job; the client either likes you, or doesn't. Managing staff will try to accommodate you.

Cons

not enough hours; some times too far to travel

Pros

Matched clients with same interests

Cons

Not good scheduling manager HR lied When they said $1 per mile when transporting clients, they did NOT reimburse at that rate Payroll/paystubs unclear to intentionally confuse caregivers CarePros who have been loyal to the company have been shat on with lower wages than new-hire employees. They allow clients to be racially biased and hateful towards their caregivers NO BENEFITS and things they advertise are not true! No real flexible schedule that they promote and promise in the job ads NO policy written for things that are unclear for example being on call phones are not provided and time is not paid for unless actively providing cares Management will tell lies to the families about why you don't want to be with a certain client every day of every week and will blame it on them being a difficult client when communicating to the family when in reality schedules and availability with classes does not align. Even with proper notice, the scheduling manager will have attitude and try to convince you that you are the one with the problem even though she does not care to take the time to fully understand each persons preferences or availabilities.
