This position is ideal for an experienced caregiver who enjoys variety, can adapt to changing schedules, and wants the security of guaranteed weekly pay!

Pay & Benefits

• Guaranteed minimum of $560 gross per week (40 hours at $14/hour), even if fewer than 40 hours of assignments are scheduled

• $14/hour for regular caregiver assignments

• Overtime pay for hours actually worked over 40 in a workweek, when applicable

• $150 sign-on bonus

How does the weekly guarantee work?

As long as you meet the on-call requirements, you're guaranteed a minimum of $560 in gross weekly pay, even if you work fewer than 40 hours.

For example:

• 16 hours worked: You still receive $560 gross for the week.

• 40 hours worked: You receive $560 gross for the week.

• 45 hours worked: At the regular $14/hour rate, your gross pay would be $665, including 5 hours of overtime at $21/hour.

The weekly guarantee is not an additional payment on top of regular hourly earnings.
