Home Health Aide

Duties & Responsibilities:  Home Health Aides usually always do not just work in a home but in other places as well. They care for a single client at a time, but may have several clients to visit in one day. They are usually supervised by a patient’s healthcare provider and sometimes by a patient’s family members. Case length may vary from a few weeks to many years. Shift work is sometimes necessary.

Salary: $21,020

Education: There really is not any education needed to become a HHA but in similar cases some training is required. HHA’s also need to pass a required exam.

Reflection: Being a Home Health Aide seems like a well job to me. I would consider doing this as a side job as well from my main job. I would love to care for elderly people and people that are in need of help. Being generous and doing something for people and their wellbeing is priceless. I also enjoy working with professional people so I would not mind caring for others.  All in all being a Home Health Aide can be taken as a reward because you’re doing something positive and it is worth the while.
