Average Salary: $8.45/hour (higher pay for more experienced aides)

I love my job as a Home Health Aide, I have worked for many years and have learned a great deal, and still learning.
You must be careful out there, there are some agencies that pay less than minimum wage and get away with breaking the law, that was because I worked for 48 to 72 hours a week and got paid less than $6.00 an hour and NO overpay, so have faith in yourself and know your worth!
