Q: What do I need to provide for my live-in support worker?

You will need to have a suitable, furnished, warm, secure, and private room for your support worker to live-in with you.

As your Filipino Care Giver may spend their breaks and downtime in their room, it is nice for them to have furnishings such as comfortable bed, bedside table, chest of drawers, wardrobe, an armchair, desk and television where possible.

We suggest that Filipino Care Giver’s room is lockable, or if this is not possible, that there is a safe place for them to keep their personal belongings and valuables.

They are also advised to keep your home secure by locking windows and doors as per your instructions and are instructed not to invite their own friends and family to visit them at your home.
