Clarifying your needs

Clarifying your needs and determining what type of care you are looking for is vital when trying to hire a caregiver. It is important that you not only ask yourself, what are my requirements and what traits do I want my care provider to have, but you also write down this ‘wish list’ in order to not lose track later on down the road of the hiring process. Ensure not only to right down the skills and attributes you want your caregiver to possess but also clarify the tasks that you expect this person to carry out. Will her sole responsibility be taking care of a disabled person or an elderly person or would you also like someone to assist with household chores, laundry, meal preparation and or pets? Do you need someone with a medical/ nursing background? Trust us, the most successful care matches have come out of this vital step.
