Tell Your Story

We’d like to hear from you!  Please share your story with us on the following topic(s):

• How is your current salary being used functionally by you and your family?  Do you have more than one job?  Is it difficult for you to make ends meet?
• Do you have health insurance?  If so, is it from your employer, partner, or government?  What do you pay out-of-pocket?  If you don’t have health insurance, why not?
• Is daycare an issue for you or your family?  If so, what do you pay out-of-pocket, that you need to deduct from your actual paycheck?
• While working as a direct care worker, were you often asked on short notice to cover a shift?
• Do you experience back injuries related to direct care?
• When you are providing care, what would you say is the most important care you provide?
• Why do you stay in your occupation?  What do you like about your job?
