BHH Respite Services

This is a very rewarding job for people who have a lot of patience and don't mind driving a bit. I was paid well for when I did drive and most* of the houses I went to I felt were safe and clean. With that being said, some of these houses are dirty and poorly taken care of. 

Some of the kids/adults are mildly autistic and some are severely autistic, you really just have to go in with a positive mindset; I do like that they will never force you to work at a house again that you didn't feel comfortable, safe, or that you could handle it. Surely some of the kids were a lot bigger and stronger than me, so I asked not to be with them again for their and my safety. 

The hardest part of the job is getting to know clients, but once you do you can have a pretty stable week and see the same people over again; this was the best part because about 6 months in I was seeing the same kids and we had the same routine every day which made it easy! I also had a great connection with them and a few years later I still facetime them and say hi! 

You can dress comfortably and you are mainly in control of what you and the clients do, so you can bring games, coloring sheets, or puzzles and they typically love that. I have also had parents tip me for doing such a good job with their kids. 

Working in care, you will always have difficult cases. Most of these kids are special needs, and you will have some days that will make you rethink if its worth it at times. Establish a client base, build rapport with the families, you can make this job full time or part time and flexible. its all about scheduling. The company does the scheduling for you, though if you ask, they will work with you to get you as many hours and clients as possible. This job requires you to use your personal vehicle to drive to each job, as well as possibly transporting the child in care someplace. If that isn't something you are comfortable with, this isn't a job for you. The staff is wonderful and friendly and they ask you about how your doing with jobs they schedule you for. I recommend going into the office to say hello once in a while just to check in with them and also give them feedback on the clients (the kids you watch). That helps them recommend things for others. as for breaks, you basically break yourself. grab something quick between clients or bring snacks along for yourself.

This job takes lots of patience because every client is different and it takes a while to get used to the household. I really wish we had some kind of training in home with other caregivers that could walk us through what a shift is like before we’re just thrown in there. I’ve been working here for over a year now and it overall has been a good experience. I’ve met so many amazing families that I look forward to seeing each week and this job is really flexible for college students. I think we get paid fairly, but I don’t understand why some fast food places start at 17 an hour and healthcare workers start at minimum wage. It is very hard to get ahold of management through email, so plan accordingly if you need to ask for time off or just call. It also involves A LOT of driving, but we get reimbursed which is nice. Great for a short term job.

BHH is a great place to work at if you're looking for flexible part-time work or want to gain experience to further your career in the healthcare/medical industry. I was looking for both when I applied here and I definitely made the right choice. I was able to keep a steady schedule and build relationships with the families I helped. Anytime I had a question/concern office management were there to answer them and provide reassurance. It felt great to get paid for work that actually makes a difference in peoples' lives. Some clients can be more challenging than others; but those are the ones that office admin helps you handle the most. The starting pay is also considerably higher than the majority of part time jobs out there, and I got a few pay raises. Overall, a very rewarding experience

This job is unstable, you get 40 hours one week than 13 the next. The only way to get paid is driving all the way to lake forest to drop off your check than drive out again to pick it up cause they dont have any direct deposit. Very bad communication between caregivers and higher ups. You only work on average 3-4 hour days at an average pay of 12.55 an hour? And you can only move up barley from that. Trash company. Even all my clients parents hated it but it was they're only hope. The only good thing about this job is the experience you gain with these kids and it taught me what a bad job was.

Your hours are very flexible after working with them for a while. if you have open days they will text you and ask if you’re available to pick up some shifts. there is no mileage/gas reimbursement unless u meet a certain number. I’ve met some strange families working for them, though. nothing on the clients themselves, just the parents so watch out. Sometimes clients will cancel last minute, ive arrived at a clients door before they cancelled my shift but i was paid for half my shift so cant complain there. Another note is that some families will not mention that you will have to take care of their siblings beforehand, however you do get an extra payment that you need to ask for yourself.

I work here as a caregiver. The cool thing about BHH is that it allows me to work with great kids and it also allows me to go to school full time. The management team are really great about working with my schedule (which can be pretty hectic at times). We get paid every Friday which is great cuz my last job was bi-weekly which was really hard being a student and all. If you love working with kids and want a low key job this is a great opportunity for students entering the healthcare industry. The management team here are all easy to work with and friendly too which is a BIG plus :)

Bhh is cool cuz it gives you the chance to work one-on-one with kids that really do need your help. I feel good about what i do and the pay is pretty good too plus payday is every Friday (with direct deposit available which is a bonus). There's some driving involved but not too much if you live in Orange County. The management in the office does a good job of keeping in touch with you and they are good about answering questions/concerns. They are easy to get in touch with via text or phone call. The best part about this job is honestly the kids! I feel like i'm learning so much and they become like family after a while!

I worked at Bhh Respite Services as a Caregiver. The staff at bhh were very accomodating to my schedule and they listened to my questions or any concerns. They understood and respected the fact that i was also a student so they worked with my hectic schedule the best way they could.  Everyone at bhh is extremely cooperative and supportive. The work itself felt rewarding to me, i personally love working with special needs children, i felt like i learned so much. I also had fun getting to know other Caregivers at the Bhh company parties.

i started working here around September and so far i love it! the kids i work with are awesome and the team at the office are pretty cool too, they really try to work with you...communication for the most part is easy & good. working here gives my schedule flexibility which is great cuz i also go to school. shifts are flexible and not too long which is nice. you can work more hours than youre scheduled cuz they are constantly offering you extra shifts. they have direct deposit which is a huge plus! Definitely recommend if you like working with kids and want to do something that actually helps people!
