Hi daughter-carer
There is a third way and that is going through an agency. They then are the employer.
The council may well have a list of preferred agencies, or you can Google. Just make sure you check the agency out. 'read and re-read any contract carefully before signing anything .
Becoming an employer yourself can be onerous. There's a lot of employment law to comply with.
If the carer is self employed they will have multiple clients, they couldn't be dedicated just to you tor that could be deemed employment. Also how would they cover holidays and illness.?
Check,out Age UK who will much info on this topic
