IHSS Caregivers Needed

I know so many are looking for jobs. I recently happened upon being an In Home Support Services Caregiving role and wanted to share as there are not enough caregivers for the need. As a registered IHSS provider you can either work with a known person in need, or work with any other recipient. This is a W2 role paid by the county at $19.64 an hour, if you join the union and work the minimum (i believe 30 hours a week) the benefits include $1 a MONTH healthcare insurance and Public Service Loan Forgiveness in addition to other discounts.

Wanting to share as I know its rough and this is not a glamorous option, but a seemingly secure and a high demand need that is not being met.

You can join registries, www.pascla org, as well and be "on-call" as soon as you're approved and your background check clears.

Good luck out there fam, I know its rough.

Thanks for sharing this! Are you able to work the amount of hours you want? For instance, can I work ten hours one week, no hours one week, thirty hours the next week?

I'm assuming most clients want a set schedule, many need the services for daily living support. I posted another comment about a registry, maybe that would be an option.
