What is the pay scale for a home health care worker?
Asked by dool-e56
A friend wants to hire me to care for (i.e., changing his diaper, bathing, and feeding him) her aged father but I don't know how much to charge. I will be working in her home for six hours and I live in Illinois. I don't work for a private agency (but I have experience as a health aide). This time I will be working for myself. Is there a website that I can go to to figure out how much to charge her?

Best Answer:
For general career info: http://www.bls.gov/oco and can search 'personal and home care aides' or such. Please do ask for something in writing making it official as to the hourly (or weekly) rate that you agree upon regardless of friendship :)
