Hi Dan, Like you, I have a caregiver for 2 hours in the morning and 1 hour at night. I pay $50 for the morning shift and $30 for the evening shift. I currently live in Colorado but I paid much less when I lived in Georgia. I imagine there is a lot of variation in pay based on location. I don’t pay any differently for holidays but this has come up for me before. I’m curious to know how others manage it.
