I worked for Visiting Angels for about 6 months. It was a good way to get some basic experience caring for clients.

But, most of the time the clients were 30-50 miles away., They didn't assist with gas unless you used your car to transport them on errands--record the mileage from their house. Sometimes I had trouble locating the client's house, even with GPS. The only way you make money is if you stay with a client 12 hours, night or day. Usually these clients are not able to do hardly anything for themselves.

The patient was not the problem. It was their relative, or husband/wife who was cranky, rude. I needed more training especially with transfers, but the office was an hour away, making it inconvenient for me to get extra training. I know it's said light housekeeping was one of the tasks we would help with.

But when you're helping someone who can't clean up much after themselves, the housekeeping wasn't what I call "light." I felt like I got one heck of a workout. I was not called often enough to pay for the gas, or enough to make a positive difference financially. Also, if you get into a situation where you are driving the client's vehicle most of the time, it's wise to call ahead and find out if you'll be using their car or yours.

I showed up and I was unprepared to use my car to drive client around on errands, and I didn't have money for gas. I got fired.
