Provide at least two verifiable live-in care references. Grandma Joan will verify your experience and references against the client’s stated requirements. Grandma Joan may present qualified candidates to the family for consideration. The family decides which candidates it wishes to interview. Candidates selected by the family will interview directly with the family by Zoom. This is your opportunity to learn more about the client’s needs, responsibilities, household, schedule, and proposed employment terms. The family—not Grandma Joan—makes all hiring decisions. If the family chooses to offer you the position, the family will provide a written employment offer describing the proposed compensation, schedule, duties, and other employment terms. If you accept the family’s conditional employment offer, you must complete the required background check and drug screening. Final employment is contingent upon satisfactory results. The family and its payroll provider will coordinate payroll enrollment and employment onboarding. The anticipated move-in date is normally approximately two weeks after the family hires its selected candidate.

Grandma Joan advertises the position, screens applicants against the family’s stated requirements, verifies candidate information and references, and introduces qualified candidates to the family. Grandma Joan does not employ or co-employ caregivers and does not make the family’s hiring decisions. The family decides whom to interview and hire and is solely responsible for determining compensation, schedule, duties, supervision, working conditions, continued employment, and termination. The selected caregiver will be employed and paid directly by the family as a W-2 household employee through the family’s payroll service. Any employment offer will come from the family, and the caregiver and family will agree directly on all employment terms.
