Wednesday morning my CNA started the day with the announcement that she is quitting and going back to school! I am worried sick as well as so sad to be losing her. She is a wonderful and caring individual who has been with my husband almost 2 years--she is our first and only outside caregiver we ever hired and we are a bit spoiled getting someone so great on the first try. every time she has had a day off we have gotten a replacement from the agency and they have been awful in comparison.
I am making an account on care dot com as I heard that is a good way to find people also. I just don't need the extra stress of training and then re hiring if the next one doesn't work out. number one, I work full time and have to as I run our family business, and two, I really think if I was the only caregiver at this point I would slit my throat and kill him--I don't have the patience to stay home with him and care for him all day every day! With the last of my kids moved out--I am all alone with him f rom the minute I get home from work until the next work day and already have little chance to go any where. I sound like a selfish *****, but I am tired of being a caregiver and don't want to do this alone!
