What overnight care costs in Key Biscayne
At $16.25 an hour (the Florida median aide wage), a 10-hour overnight shift three nights a week comes to about $2,113 a month, and every night about $4,929 (57% of the $8,613 monthly median income of Key Biscayne households headed by someone 65+). Awake and asleep night shifts are often paid differently; agree it in writing. Florida's minimum wage rose to $15.00 an hour on September 30, 2026, under Article X, Section 24 of the Florida Constitution.
Hiring directly, you agree the rate with the caregiver and usually become the household employer (U.S. Department of Labor rules). Some families qualify for programs that pay for care at home; see How to get paid to take care of a family member in Florida: SMMC LTC and the PDO.
What to know before hiring a overnight caregiver
Overnight help is usually arranged when the person gets up in the night or the family caregiver is no longer getting enough sleep. Decide first whether you need an awake caregiver, who stays up through the shift, or one who may sleep in the home and is woken when needed; the two are paid differently.
Questions worth asking: Do you stay awake through the shift, or sleep and wake when called? Have you cared for someone with dementia at night? What would you do if my parent fell during the night? More in our overnight caregivers guide.

Overnight, live-in or 24-hour care: what is the difference?
