hey to my caregivers out there this is
0:07
Michelle with a tailor life for
0:09
caregivers i hope you are well i was
0:12
thinking about something i talked to a
0:13
client and she has multiple payes and I
0:18
thought maybe other caregivers might
0:20
like to for me to share this tip with
0:22
you so if you have multiple payes so if
0:26
you're not familiar with that term where
0:28
you are a caregiver where you are
0:30
assigned by the state to take care of
0:33
someone's incoming payments whether it's
0:36
through social security SSI anything
0:39
like that where you are appointed to be
0:41
able to go to a bank and get funds for
0:44
that person that are paid out to them
0:45
every month so if you are a payee and
0:49
you have people multiple people that you
0:52
have to take care of here is a tip that
0:54
I shared with a client recently
0:56
create your own system if you have a
1:00
payee make sure that you have a file for
1:03
just their information whether it's
1:06
their banking information and email
1:08
address any forms or any phone numbers
1:11
names and phone numbers addresses last
1:14
time you spoke with anybody related to
1:16
that payee create a system for yourself
1:18
where you have a basket or a folder
1:21
where just that person's information
1:23
goes
1:24
and then if you you can even go as far
1:27
as to create your own email address for
1:30
that person with the pay so that way
1:33
anytime you need to look up anything for
1:34
them you can go directly to that email
1:37
account and find anything specifically
1:39
related to that payee now the person I
1:42
was talking to had multiple payes so
1:44
they lived in the same house so that got
1:47
a little bit confusing but we just we
1:49
figured out that if they work on one pay
1:53
per day in the week they can figure out
1:57
what information they needed to do per
1:59
day
2:01
so for example
2:03
the first payee if Tuesday is the day
2:05
you want to work on things for them you
2:07
can give their money to them that day
2:10
you can go check on their bank account
2:12
you can make sure their bills are paid
2:14
follow up on any doctor's appointments
2:16
anything like that if you have anything
2:17
you need to discuss with them if there's
2:19
a change in what they receive or any
2:21
kind of change Tuesday is the day for
2:24
that for your other payee if that day is
2:27
Thursday where you deal with their
2:28
paperwork anything related to scheduling
2:30
their appointments or anything related
2:32
to their money or any changes that need
2:34
to be made you can pick a day for that
2:37
pay so that's what worked for that
2:38
particular client having their pay two
2:41
different days working on those
2:43
different things so they weren't
2:44
thinking about each pay every day
2:47
because here's the other thing you as a
2:48
caregiver you are somebody to be cared
2:50
for too so please please don't forget
2:53
about yourself so when I talked about
2:56
those two payes
2:58
Tuesday Thursday well Monday Wednesday
3:01
Friday Saturday Sunday you can take
3:04
those days to work on your own stuff so
3:07
please don't make caregiving a everyday
3:10
all day thing keep things separate if
3:13
