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.
