Stable income: Somewhat stable

I’d rate it a 3 out of 5 because caregiving can provide a decent baseline income, but it can be unreliable at times due to factors like fluctuating demand, varying client needs, and potential gaps between clients. It's not as unpredictable as a 2, where income swings wildly, but it lacks the predictability of a 4, where most months are similar and dependable.
