Hire the right caregiver the first time.
When your parent or loved one needs help at home, you don’t have time to learn by trial and error. Called by Name walks you through hiring a private caregiver step by step: how to find someone you can trust, what to ask, what you’re legally responsible for, and how to keep a good caregiver once you find one.
I wrote it after more than ten years as a private caregiver, often working 72 to 84 hours a week inside families’ homes. I’ve seen what goes wrong when no one has a plan, and what goes right when someone does.
This guide is for you if:
You’re hiring help for a parent, spouse or loved one and don’t know where to start
You want someone who treats your person with dignity, not as a job
You want to avoid the costly mistakes families make, like unpaid overtime, payroll taxes and no written agreement
You’re tired of carrying this alone and want a clear plan
What’s inside:
Questions to get clear on your loved one’s needs before you post a listing
Where to find good caregivers, and a listing template that filters out the wrong ones
Interview questions by category, with what to listen for
Background check and reference call scripts, word for word
What you may owe a private caregiver under federal law (W-2, payroll taxes, overtime), in plain language
A care plan and daily schedule your caregiver can follow
A fill-in caregiver agreement to protect both of you
