It helps if you have a cushion to work with financially when you go out on your own. Things with my business is going slowly. I'm not yet at a profit, but it's getting there, and I've got some good opportunities opening up for me. It is hard starting your own business.

I know there are a lot of families that are looking for good caretakers to help their families. I know that I had through a handful myself before my father passed away and still wasn't a 100% satisfied with the care he received. It so hard to find somebody here in Dallas that I can trust to help me with my mother. Opening a new business for myself so that I can stay at home and take care of her myself is an option, but with the economy the way it is, I don't know if I could afford to start all over. How has your business gone? How long did it take you to make a profit? Wow, thank you so much for sharing this!

We were really lucky when my mom was sick. The hospice agency the doctor referred us to was so good, and my mom loved all of the caretakers that came to the house. I wish we'd had them when my dad was sick. Like you, we hired someone to take care of him, so he's have someone he liked and we trusted. Right now, I'm trying to set up a Virtual Assistant business so I can work from home. It's slow going, though. I've had a couple of possible job opportunities, but they always seem not to work out in the end, so I started concentrating on running my own business. I figure with 20 years in the field, I have a lot to offer small businesses who need occasional help. I know….it’s so hard when you’re taking care of a loved one.

Her best caregiver refused to join and agency or be an independent contractor....2 year later I am still working on closing my mother's business and paying benefits and retirement for this employee...Nothing like being 94 and staring your own business to get the competent help you require... Good job...and I hope you have a good job situation now! Wow I wish I had known all this when I was contracting for assistance in caring for my mother in her final year.
