I`ve had to dismiss my care agency...there was quite a lot of trouble last week.
Carers had been to a household with covid and refused to go again....afraid of bringing it to me and other clients.
2 of the staff resigned.........I have engaged another.
It was very worrying and upsetting too. Now both my carers only have me as their client.
This covid has a lot to answer for!

I’m sorry to read that. I work for a childcare provider and we have had similar issues. Some of our regular families have cancelled booked jobs at the last minute. I pray that this lockdown will be over soon. Can you talk to the manager of the company or not? Try explaining your concerns as clearly as possible. I hope that you can resolve things quickly too.

Sorry to hear of this @pollyanna1052. The change of carers must have been really upsetting and worrying for you. I hope that things settle down for you now and you are keeping safe and well.Winner of the Scope New Volunteer Award 2019.

Hi @pollyanna1052, I imagine this has been a really worry for you. How are things going?

Sorry Chloe...only just seen your message.
I am really happy with Becky as my carer. She was with the agency I sacked, but had resigned.
She is a lovely person. She is going to uni in September...so I`ll need to find a replacement before then.
Difficult times to be advertising/interviewing.

Hey @pollyanna1052, glad your happy with the carer, can't be fun going through a time of training another person to how you like things, good luck on finding a replacement
