I am Looking For a Filipino Caregiver

Filipino Caregiver Work Hours and Conditions

Filipino child caregivers and helpers generally work 5 or 6 days a week when working during the day. They also have the right to take 1 day off. Live-in Filipino caregivers work 6 days a week, staying in the family's home, and they get 1 day off. Live-in caregivers adapt easily to the family's daily routine and provide better service with their flexible work style.

However, those saying “I am looking for a Filipino caregiver” need to clearly define their expectations before starting the work. If you agreed only for child care, it would be inappropriate to add other tasks (like house cleaning) after the work starts. Therefore, make sure to discuss and clarify the tasks you want them to do from the beginning. This way, things will be smoother, and there won't be any unpleasant situations.

How Much Do Filipino Caregivers Earn?

Families who say “I am looking for a Filipino caregiver” prefer these workers mainly due to their English proficiency. They don't just provide caregiving services for your children but also act as English teachers. Filipino caregivers, who speak excellent English, enable children to practice their English, giving them an advantage in language learning.

Live-in Filipino caregiver salaries vary depending on experience and education. They typically earn between 1500 USD and up to 3500 USD depending on experience and demands. Daytime Filipino caregivers generally earn between 1000 and 1300 USD. In addition to this salary, families also pay for the caregiver’s weekly day-off (around 500 TL).

Since Filipino workers earn higher wages compared to other caregivers, they are preferred by families with a suitable budget. However, the quality of service they provide, their compassionate approach, and especially their knowledge of English make this extra cost well worth it.

Thus, families choose them knowing that their caregivers contribute not only to household chores but also to their children’s education.
