Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
I think I'd ask the person who signs your paycheck for some clarification on just who you are supposed to be taking care of. If it's more than the one person you initially began caring for, I'd demand more money or walk.
I have explained before that the Caregiver is only responsible for the Client.
We had a client (I worked for a VNA) that the wife complained that an aide she received did not clean, do laundry or dishes. My boss said, as long as there are others in the household, the aide is not responsible for cleaning, laundry and dishes. If the client lived alone, then the aide was responsible to do light housekeeping, dishes and laundry.
If your responsibilities were not discussed during hire, its time to discuss them now. Start with, ordinarily ....
AnitaKane, I agree with worriedinCali's post. What does your employment contract state?
I have a feeling there is no employment contract, right? It is probably too late to have one drawn up because the family somehow will throw in chores that they want you to do for the rest of the family members.
Your job is just for the recipient, and anything else would be of your own choice.
If this is getting too overwhelming with other family members pulling at you, time to give two weeks notice.
The caregiver agencies I've spoke to offered exactly that. I need someone to look after grandma for a few hours here and there. I said there's really not much to do other than safety, change diapers and transfers on and off a wheelchair. The agencies said that the caregiver could take my dad to run errands or house keep or just hang out with mom to fill out the time.
So as others said, I would speak to whoever signs your paycheck. Since it's really up to them.
No it’s not your problem...you have enough to do. Are they invalids? What is in care plan? I was under the impression you are family member...but after reading further replies, you are outsider? Depends on care plan.
Wow, I just realized that I need to up date my profile. I no longer care for my Grandfather. Currently employed with an agency . Accepted an ongoing assignment for a client who is unrelated to myself. However care recipient is immediate relation to owner of the agency that employes me.

What cleaning? Cleaning the child's house? Forget it!
Going to fetch him and taking him home again... Mnmnmn. Not really.
Catering for him if his father invites him to supper? Well, if cooking for your care recipient is part of your job, then arguably that's reasonable.
You say your care recipient is closely related to your employer. What relationship exists between your employer and the adult child, then?
As long as you were properly paid for the additional time you spend on the adult child, would you particularly mind the extra work?
