If you’re a young person and have compassion (very important) and a strong stomach (equally important), look for work at nursing homes. They have the money but are very short staffed. The job is not for everyone! She has been puked on, peed on, pooped on, sworn at, you name it! She is basically doing CNA work but without the education. She learns faster by doing anyway.

Yup, my daughter, last month did not get a raise but, did finally get medical from her workplace. She has been working overtime to cover for a smaller crew they have lost several over the months and no one is lining up to fill the spots.
Proud of your daughter! You are right, job is not for everyone, takes a well rounded person to both be attentive, caring, understanding and respectful AND able to deal with the stress of loss/death of those you have been caring for.
Health insurance coverage is a huge raise all by itself for one who didnt already have it.
