How long do caregivers work?

This varies depending on the individual caregiver and their client’s needs. Most caregivers live out of the client’s home and work daily shifts, from 4 to 12 hours, on an hourly basis. Most caregivers drive. Some caregivers provide 24 hour, live in care, for up to 5 days per week, with the ability to sleep in a separate area, and a secondary person is brought in for the other 2 days of the week under the same conditions.
