I had an opportunity to talk to a person who was working this job like 10 years back. What Maxpayne said is correct, you have to live together with people with special needs. This job is very challenging for "a sane person" who wants to involve in a lot other exciting things in regular life. As per my conversation with that person, you are living together with some mentally or physically disabled person 24 hours. I remember him giving me an instance when someday the person you are taking care of is laughing whole day and you will also be laughing whole day along with and some other days, he or she is crying whole day and then you can imagine the state of the caretaker's mind. You can become like a disabled person yourself, this was his inference.
It is challenging and yet frustrating too, but for some $10 K a month (higher than any software engineer I believe) is good enough to make sacrifices in life and people have been doing that too.
What Ujl said above is not correct as per my understanding.
"Nobody lives in New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine. Most Nepali live in Boston area."
I have met Nepalese who are residing in all these three areas. It may not be like huge communities but there are Nepalese there too as well.
