I'm not sure there are many independent carers who don't find work through an aggency, most do. Even at minimum wage of £11 an hour employing a full time carer would cost you £7,392 a month. That would cover 3 carers working 8 hour shifts. Are you thinking of paying less than minimum wage? Is that legal? The only other way to save money is to do one shift yourself, which would pobably involve giving up paid employment in exchange for carers allowance, which ironicly  pays a meagre £76.00 a week .
