Lead with that friend, I thought you were being sarcastic tbh, I appreciate it and I'm making a call now.

Why don't you at least do a 4 second Google search before you start complaining.

This isn't something they're upfront about also I spoke to someone and they don't offer anything other than phone numbers of services we aren't eligible for

You realize this is a shit ass job? Think about how much you'd have to make to do this job.. then add business costs on top and taxes too. ... only a truly wealthy person can pay to have someone take care of them.

Agencies make a shit ton so I'm looking to work directly with a caretaker for around 45 an hour cash. Being that the average hourly for this is under 20 I feel an untaxed 45 is fair considering I need someone to just microwave her food and make sure she is clean.

Wow finally.. yes I think you'll find someone for that rate if the hours work for that person. Keep looking for a friend of a friend of a friend. Thats your best bet
