It would be nice if the caregiver has a full time job or some other benet, but it's tough if you're not compensated on an hourly basis. It's all physical labor, like changing diapers. The company will screen clients because qualified people are favored by the company, the long-timers are bossy, and the rest get little or no raises, so you have to favor yourself in that way. In the end, people who are not capable of doing anything else rather than wanting to serve others end up staying long enough to find new recruits and get rid of their exasperation. In fact, I don't think qualified people who want to serve others would work for a Japanese agent.

Surprisingly, it wasn't physical labor.
As someone wrote earlier, I sat down when there was nothing I could do to help. Changing diapers doesn't take much strength. I liked taking care of them too, but I still didn't like the other messes.

I see ？ there is a difference between those who do nothing and those who do a lot. I was doing laundry, vacuuming, cooking, polishing the microwave, etc. because no one else was doing it. We were a couple. But the person who came later who had a nursing license talked with the husband all the time and made the house dirty, but I think they relied on me because I had a nursing license. The client was the wife, though.
So I stopped working for the same client
.
On the other hand, there was a care giver who took care of a client with a bad leg by giving her exercises to prevent her leg from weakening. Since no one is watching, there is not a proper standard. The rest is whether the client likes it or not. But on the other hand, I refused to work with clients who needed diaper changes and men, but they still insisted, saying it was easy. But in the end, it was a lot of work.

I did laundry, cooking, cleaning, bathing, exercising, and other things as normal.
But I didn't do the family stuff, just the clients, so it wasn't a hard amount to do at all, and I had plenty of time to do it, and I felt like I had a lot of free time.
Changing diapers was easy, and we also accepted male clients. I liked taking care of people who used wheelchairs, etc. more than those who had no physical disabilities, and I was happy to be helpful. I am sure it was a good fit, and maybe it was a good fit for someone like me.

No matter what profession you are in, even if you are doing the same job, there are those who can handle it well and those who can't, those who choose the job description and those who don't, and those who can move flexibly and those who can't. In the case of dispatched or home-visit caregivers, there is no supervisor, and the work is handled immediately on site, so it is likely that differences in individual abilities will emerge.

I think people like Nichika are suited for the nursing profession.
Good luck. Agents are reassured to have someone like you ！ too.

I also feel that people like you, Nichika-san, are suited not only for nursing jobs, but also for jobs that involve taking care of people, such as child care workers. However, please be careful, because I think such people are more likely to be liked and used in a good way by temporary staffing agencies, for better or worse.

People who don't know the field do the scheduling and support, which is terrible, terrible... but on the other hand, I feel like it can't be helped because they don't know. But on the other hand, I feel like it can't be helped because they don't know. Care givers are unusually detailed people who are detailed, and those who are split between the two do the bare minimum. I think it's best to keep the detailed people to the time they take care of themselves and not be too detailed about other care givers. Each of us has a different way of thinking and doing things, so it's natural that we don't always get what we want.

I heard one thing I don't like from a care giver today.
In my opinion, it was something that seemed to go both ways.

Question.
There is a section of care that includes talking to the patient, but to be honest, it is painful.
I can handle most of the care except for talking to them without any problems.
Since they are not my family or friends, I don't let them go every day, we don't have anything in common, and I don't know what to do ......
I am a caregiver. Am I a disqualified care giver?
Should I quit?

It's hard if there is a section in your care called "talking to" and you are starting to have difficulty with that.
I don't think you need to think too much about it.
There are other things that are important and should be prioritized.
You can think of it as
a person to talk to = filling in a gap
and if you don't have anything to talk about, then it's not a problem. If we don't have anything to say, there is a good chance that they don't have anything to say either.

My name is Chisarin, and I am a care giver dispatched by an agent.
I have taken care of many different clients.
Most of them were good clients and kind families.
I am still working with some clients, but after much consideration, I have decided to leave the caregiver profession.
As several people have written, the main reason is that I have accumulated a lot of stress and disagreements outside of caring for them.
Agents, please do better.
I know before I started working there that the pay is low and there is no insurance (or a significant co-pay).
Still, I wanted to be a care giver, so I took the plunge, quit my job, and jumped in, believing in what the agent said.
The salary was almost half of my previous job, and I still became a care giver, but I witnessed the poor quality of the agents many times.
I ended up going back to my former industry, but I really wanted to continue as a care giver.

It seems that care givers have something to say to each other, too. I think people with kind hearts and a hospitality spirit are suited to be care givers, but such people are more likely to be unreasonable by bureaucrats and weirdly detailed people. It is sad that people who are supposed to be needed are in a difficult working environment.

They only assign me long-distance projects.
I have told them that the distance is this far, but they keep asking.

I guess that's why they are short on staff. I started out with a gentle heart, but quit because I felt depressed by the internal situation, the placement, and the unreasonableness of long-time people. I guess the inner workings of caregivers must be pretty muddy. The bureaucrats are very powerful. it was in the article about the food tester who works at the N store and once blamed someone for a theft.

I have been accused by the bureau of being a framer.
She accused me of doing certain things, and I felt bad because even though I told her it wasn't me, she seemed suspicious. In the end, the bureau did it and I just forgot what I had done.
She didn't apologize and I felt very uncomfortable.

Let me say a few words. Caregiving is hard work, whether it is work or not. Even caring for a family member tends to make us feel lonely and alone. I think it is very good that you can vent your complaints and worries in a place like this. I think it is good to have a place to vent because you are doing your best to take care of your family members. There was a post, which seems to have been deleted, that said people feel sorry for those who are cared for by complainers. Please do not ever, ever, ever say such things to the people you care for. These people will drive the caregivers away.

？
It's normal for old people to be bitchy and selfish, they're old people
If you don't understand that and can't let it go and bitch about it, you shouldn't be in care work
You're not cut out to be a caregiver
.
I also complain about the temp agencies, but only if it's close by ？ ？ You're the one who signed up for the job ？
You're the one who offered me the job ？ How high up do you think you are ？?

This is why I don't like know-it-alls.
Did you read most of the posts?
No one wrote anything about being selfish or complaining about old people, on the contrary, they wrote that there are many good people.
All I see is complaining about the temp agency and complaining about the bureaucrats.

I say if you don't have a nearby project, don't dump it.
I've told them that I don't expect them to give me a lot of work and that I'll do it if it's close by because I have time.
Why do I have to go so far away when I'm in such a situation?

If you're going to say that, I assume you can make the 2-3 hour drive to work?

Both the caregiver and the recipient are under stress, and it is difficult to achieve perfection, but I feel that this is inevitable.
I know there are difficulties for the agents who act as bridges, but if there are too many human errors or mindless words, the caregiver bridge will collapse and people will not be able to come and go.
If we can fix that, I think there will be more care givers who will cooperate.
I have been the same way, and I used to change my personal duties to accommodate urgent work requests, but I have stopped doing that. Once the environment improves, I will be willing to accommodate urgent requests, etc. again. In the end, it is the clients and their families who ultimately suffer, so I have a strong desire to be helpful.

I've been advised on the information board that $ 100 for 2 hours is impossible. Is that what an agent gets paid ？ and if it's 12 hours $ how do you calculate 1200 ？ 12 hours $ 1200, 10 days 12000, 30 days $ 36,000 ？
you are writing because you want that job? I guess ？
It may not be that good a job, but it is attractive to those who have no job and no home. I guess that's how I feel about helping out. You work from 7:00 AM to about 7:00 PM. Maybe longer.
