I`m just wondering what the rest of you think about this. My DIL cleans 2 or 3 times a week for an old lady who lives quite close to them. The lady is in her 90s, and her husband died about a year ago. She isn`t in good health, but wants to stay in her house. She has a son and a daughter, the son visits very rarely, her daughter hasn`t been for years. My DIL has been asked by a close friend of the lady, a prominent local businessman, if she would consider being the lady`s full time carer, for which she would obviously be paid. Her dilemma is, firstly she`s had no training in being a carer, also, where would she stand, legally, if anything happened to the lady if she fell and hurt herself? Plus she`s worried that it won`t allow her time for her ow n home and family, but apparently the lady is very fond of my DIL and doesn`t want anyone else to look after her. As well as cleaning, my DIL has also helped her to wash and bath herself, as well as visiting when she was in hospital a while back. She doesn`t want to let her down, but is worried about her own capability if she took the job on.
