Q: How many days and hours will my live-in support worker work?

A: Although a Filipino Care Giver lives in your home, he or she is not expected to provide care 24 hours a day. A typical day will be broken into contact/work time and non-contact/downtime, based around your daily routines and preferences.

On average Filipino Care Giver may typically work 8-10 hours a day. In order to comply with the employment law regulations, your support worker will require a minimum two-hour break in every working day.

During this time they must be free to leave your home.

On average most support workers can work six or seven days a week.

Q: What do I need to provide for my live-in support worker?

You will need to have a suitable, furnished, warm, secure, and private room for your support worker to live-in with you.

As your Filipino Care Giver may spend their breaks and downtime in their room, it is nice for them to have furnishings such as comfortable bed, bedside table, chest of drawers, wardrobe, an armchair, desk and television where possible.

We suggest that Filipino Care Giver’s room is lockable, or if this is not possible, that there is a safe place for them to keep their personal belongings and valuables.

They are also advised to keep your home secure by locking windows and doors as per your instructions and are instructed not to invite their own friends and family to visit them at your home.
