Angelica, I can tell that you are a very thoughtful and caring individual. If you have a dream, make it so, but here are a few thoughts. Business Plan, all businesses start with a business plan. If you would ever speak with a bank or financial support they will want to see a business plan. Also, you will need licensing, and insurance to keep your business legal, and IRS compliant. It's not that it can't be done, and I'm sure you would be great, but if it were that easy a lot more people would be doing it. Stay focused, and check out the details. Good Luck...

I am just looking for a at home postion i have good resume in travel...i dont want a commission only postion salary or hourly

Just stay focused and research it. You already have a plan now, you got to do the research. When you take off and blow up! Let me know. I would come and work for you! You have a blessed day and continue to follow your dream!

thank you everyone. I know it's going to be tough. I spoke to a recruiter the other day and she mentioned to me that , as you all are saying, Research , Research ! Insurance would be the most important. IF you get sued. I hear all you hard workers. I understand. I know just because I have customer service experience doesn't mean anything but it's a start. I understand that I will need to do many things to get going. No I'm not a quitter. The recruiter did mention to me to start off in clerical and then work my way up. Or even try out a virtual staffing to start off. But number one insurance. I sure appreciate all your kind words. Hope to be helping each and everyone of you. you all have a great weekend.

Great idea! First thing, trademark and copyright your site's name, your business name, logo, and anything that you use as an identifier for your new company-a good patent lawyer can best inform you. Register your new business, and pay for the licencing and any fees for the business in the county, and city you plan on having the business. Have at LEAST $50,000 ready cash, and be prepared to have to get more. You'll have to get a place, a bookkeeper whom can do payroll (a GOOD one), clients, nurses (Nurse Manager--RN), other RNs, LVN's, CNAs, caregivers, HHAs, and, make doubly sure that they are licensed, and not expired, cover yourself by hiring a doctor or two whom would be willing to be on call. Have all of your employees be bilingual in English and Spanish. Have a lawyer go over the contracts that pertain to the business--code of conduct, rules and regulations, laws that have to be followed, and such. Decide how many employees that you want to hire, full time, and, part time. Be aware that if you have a certain amount of employees, you are obligated to carry health insurance for them. Unemployment insurance comes into play, too. You'll have to pay for malpractice insurance for the business. The nurses, caregivers, and such should get their own malpractice insurance, of at least 3 Million, 1 Million per occurrence. You will have to have in-services for all your employees to satisfy the laws for home health care agencies, such as hand washing, how to take care of bodily (blood, urine, phlegm, etc) fluids, how to safely transfer clients from wheelchair to bed, or another chair, how to bathe a patient, and so on. In services have to be done, as often as your state mandates. There are probably more things that must be done, but,the above is all I can remember. It's not as simple as it seems. I had a friend that owned and operated a health care agency for years. I shadowed her for a long time, and, asked a lot of questions. I also am a retired nurse, and, did work for her periodically, Good luck!

Don't just dive into this without doing a lot of research and planning. You need to research your area of operation to determine the needs and wants of the community. You have to know who your competition is and what they are doing to be successful. You need to research software to determine the cheapest way to go that will fulfill the needs of your business. You need to know how to install your software and virus protection. You need to sell yourself to potential employers as well as to your future customers who will be applying for those jobs. When you first open your doors, no one knows you exist. You have to hit the road hard and heavy with advertising and marketing materials. You need to think about protecting your business. I'd suggest becoming a limited liability company. This protects you if you get sued. They can only sue up to what you have invested in the business. It will protect your personal assets. I paid a paralegal service pretty close to $350 to become an LLC. If you do this, you also have to pay to advertise in a daily newspaper for six weeks, and a weekly newspaper, as well. That costs another $75 to $100. You might want to think about a home security system too. From my experience, if you piss off a customer or two, there's a potential for threats or violence. Not every customer is going to be happy with your service. And don't expect to see a profit right away. Most new companies take at least 5 years to make a small profit. I opened a tax business five years ago. My first year was a total flop. My computers came down with one of those "network" viruses. Without a working computer my business was dead. I didn't have money to buy a new computer. I also didn't have a few hundred to pay geek squad to come in and fix my computers. I took a $3000 loss that year. Over the summer, I smartened up a little. I took a bunch of free online courses in information technology and computer maintenance and repair. I learned how to fix my own computer problems and did so. I also tightened up on my office expenses. Instead of buying my ink cartridges, I bought an ink refill kit and just refill the old ones. I also cut way back on unnecessary paperwork. I buy my paper, folders, envelopes, staples and staplers from a wholesale club like BJs instead of an office supply store. I design and distribute my own advertising and marketing materials. I took advanced courses in taxation so I could also do tax returns for those with small businesses and rental property. I saved a lot of money by doing all this, and I made a little more the second year. But still didn't see a profit. Then Microsoft stopped supporting Windows XP, which meant that my tax software would no longer run on my computer. My only option was at this point to buy another computer. I bought a used one off of an IT student for $200. It was a good choice. Three more years have passed, and it still runs and supports all of my software. Each new tax season, I'm presented with situations that are more challenging than the previous year. I have to keep learning more and more to keep up with the demands of my business. This year, I did a corporate tax return for the first time. The IRS rejected it. I'm still in the processing of finding and fixing the problem. You always want to find and fix your problems or your clients won't come back. You also have to know when and where to draw the line if you need to. I draw that line when a customer presents me with incorrect or incomplete information that might easily be audited as tax fraud. That's the point when I stop being nice and sweet and tell the customer in a professional way "where to go". I'm not willing to do anything that's illegal, unethical, or immoral for anyone. Are you? Businesses do stuff that's unethical every day to pinch their pennies. Are you willing to take advantage of innocent job seekers to keep your employers happy? They may expect you to. You need more than just phone and customer service skills to run a business. Do you plan to hire anyone to help in the office. I discovered that costs more than I'm willing to pay. You have to pay for disability and workers' comp for each employee. Women cost more to insure than men because women are more likely to file accident claims or go out on maternity leave. In my second year, I hired my husband and son. It was too expensive. In my third year, I added them as partners, instead. That was a better, and much cheaper option. I'd advise you to run as a sole proprietor and not hire anyone. My guess is that you don't have the skills necessary to run your own payroll, or the money to pay to outsource it to another company. A payroll company can be quite expensive. Also, do you have the knowledge to do your own accounting and record keeping? You need to keep good records for tax purposes. If you work from your home, make sure you set up one room for your business only (not to be used for any other purposes). That way you can take "business use of home" on your tax return. You will be able do deduct a portion of your utilities, and perhaps your phone and internet service, too. You can also deduct the expenses necessary to make that room usable as an office, such as new windows, carpeting or a paint job. Keep track of everything you buy for your business. It will all be deductible as a business expense as long as you use it for only business. I'm not telling you to do it. I'm not trying to scare you away from chasing your dream. I'm just giving a little advice from experience. It's not easy running any type of a business. You have to be highly motivated and take it upon yourself to do everything yourself and be willing to continue to learn new things at a very rapid pace if you want your business to grow and thrive. Things will not just fall into place. You have to make it happen. You can't be a quitter who gives up too easy. Only you know what you are capable of. If you choose to go for it... Good luck!

Angelica, go for it! Follow you dream now while you can there are even grants out there that can help you start up that business because you are a woman. Research them grants.gov and Grantspace. Org a good places to look for Grants to apply for. There is also your local library.

Angelica, I wish you luck. As someone who has been a staffing recruiter for over 16 years , this is a tough business while it does have its rewards. Make sure your insured, make sure your clients can pay their bills, comply with all Dept of Labor rules and laws and get a proper license. Then sell, sell and keep selling - Nothing like making money and really helping people - Good luck
