Live-in pay is often agreed by the day or week, but every hour worked counts toward minimum wage. At $17.51 an hour (the Arizona median aide wage), a live-in caregiver paid for 50 hours a week costs about $3,794 a month. Round-the-clock shift care, 168 paid hours a week across two or three caregivers, comes to about $12,747 a month. Private rates are agreed with the caregiver, and overtime rules can add to both.
