Working overnight shifts

Gayandgray · 08-25-2021, 10:47 PM

I’m currently doing 12 hr night shifts(7p-7a). While it works best with my home life as far as sitters for my butch husband and all- I HATE it because everyone else workers days! But I do get a week where I have 5 days off in a row, so I enjoy that.

Did you ask Human Resources or your boss if your place of work helps employees find eldercare? Are you or your husband veterans? That might be helpful. If you live in or near a city that might have a Senior Center? They might have suggestions.

I worked 12 hr. nightshift (19-0730) for 30 years, and still stay awake all night. Years ago, I decided to look at the upside of working nights. Now, I relish being awake at night when most other (sane) people are asleep.

speaking of working… If there are any caregivers that are instantly available I am looking for one. The pay is very good it’s from the United States government to include full benefits and a free place to live. Did I mention that It’s on the largest lake in Florida? It is. Right across from all the pools and all the activities you could dream of. The job is fairly simple. Message me if interested. Thank you in advance.
Also one small pet friendly or medium.
