ABOUT OUR GUEST: 

Bailey Kitchen is a caregiver for both of her parents who suffer from severe brain damage and problems with memory loss. You can learn more about her experience as a caretaker on TikTok where she has over half a million followers.

TOPIC: 

Nearly 30% of Americans care for disabled, chronically ill, or elderly family members, but they’re often the undersung heroes of our society. Bailey joins us on this episode to talk about her journey to becoming a full-time caregiver for her parents, the legal processes involved in becoming a caregiver, and advice for how we can best prepare for our aging loved ones. She also shares her thoughts on assisted living facilities and gives us insight into what a day in her life looks like. 

In this episode, we discuss:

• The series of events that led Bailey to becoming a full-time caretaker 
• What a Power of Attorney authorization is and why it’s helpful for caretakers 
• Navigating the complicated process of receiving payment as a full-time caretaker 
• The non-negotiables in Bailey’s morning routine
