Yes! This woman gets it! I feel the same. Changed from office work to care work aged 46. Wish I'd done it sooner! Such lovely people. Even when they have their moments. It doesn't last long and when it's over they're lovely again. The aspect of personal care probably scares off so many people from this work but honestly you get used to after after a few days. It's surprising how quickly you just adapt and get on with it. It is so much more rewarding than it is demanding. All the thankyou's and brightening someone's day just keeps you going. 💛

Hi, Love your comment -- It's inspiring. Can I ask how much you get paid, what training you did and also if you go through an agency? Thanks! ; ) ~ Sarah

It looks such a beautiful place to work as well so that's a plus

[@suez5648]

This is actually a hard job, you have to do everything according to the client's preferences in very very details, but there is always a bit difference between what the client serve themselves and what other people serve them.

[@sprinkles611]

You told nothing but the truth! I'm a care aide, I've been one off and on for like 3 years. Getting a client that fits is very hard. Either the family becomes a problem or the client is difficult. I have a really cool client now and I truly believe that he will be my one and only client that I deal with. Care aide jobs can be a hassle. After him I'm not doing no more care aiding jobs. I will definitely move on to something else.

[@valdiviana1]

You ladies take it easy, I love being a care aide❤ you ladies stand your ground and don't allow anybody to treat you with disrespect. It is a very rewarding career. Just be patient, have knowledge, common sense, and empathy!!

[@heathertonovic585]

Elizabeth, you are an absolutely beautiful person😊

[@wernyka3]

Thanks for the video. It is a pity that you have so many work. Here, there is a person to the laundry and the nurses give the medication or change a dressing for example. I hope God give you strength for that, my dear.

[@Efhgi]

Where i am also in Australia we have a nurse for medications and house keepers for cleanind laundry people kitchen staff and then the care worker. Yes sometimes we take on other jobs if needed but not often.

[@nisanadee1838]

[@melgrant7404]

When you care for someone elderly at home it can become exhausting.

[@Truth_Seeker1]

I’m doing a level 1 course in preparing to work in adult social care. I can get a interview as a HCA in a hospital or as a carer in a care home. I have one quick question do carers in a care home have to wash and iron peoples clothes? I’m asking because I suck at ironing haha.

[@erikas6429]

Iv done care work for long.Only in night shift had to iron but nit everywhere ,usually laudry staffs will do it,so dont worry)

[@sassi7966]

I started in a care job and yes they have a laundry room and laundry staff, as well as cleaners and cooks. So basically my role doesn't include all that. As care assistant I am on one to one with a resident or otherwise I am put on serving food and drinks, or on the call bell with other carers and we all assist whoever needs it, as well as regular personal care for all but especially those who are bedbound.

[@talhaafzalmuhammadafzal2136]

I also want ❤️to work in this type of retirement home but everyone asks me PSW certificate😔 even though I am a registered nurse from back home. Is there anyone who help me get a job like this 🙏

[@christinehales4222]

My daughter has been a domiciliary carer for many years & loves her job For the responsibilities she has the pay is dreadful. She is paid a small smount of petrol money & isnt salaried .If she needs time off occasionally as she or my g/son is ill she isnt paid .The clients are elderly so inevitably ,they pass .She is never given the hours she needs ,eg next Sunday they've given her an early morning call then a 4 hour gap until the next , no le5trol money & only paid for the people seen .Its disgusting,the way she' s treated when they are aooare y short of carers
