Live-in Caregiver

Live-in Caregiver

Experienced Live-in Caregiver (Female) – Top Pay. PLEASE READ FIRST: What do we mean by Live-in? You relocate and move in with a client at their house. You work full-time, as needed. You have your own private bedroom in their house. You help them as needed, on and off, throughout each day, with memory-care or ADLs, and house chores/cooking. You sleep in their home every night. You may get scheduled breaks to leave the home each week. If you have not done live-in (yet) as described above, please do NOT apply. Instead, you can visit the Live-in Caregiver Association LLC to learn more about live-in job opportunities. Go to LCA.care Learn about the challenges involved, take some of their courses, and then use their job board to find a live-in position. Then, once you have successfully competed two or more 90+ day live-in jobs with other employers, you can return here to apply. (where the big money can be made!)

Interviews are by Zoom video. The employer will contribute towards your transportation to their location if you get the job.

Process: 1. Fill out an application. You will move on to the next stage if you meet the job requirements. 2. Pass an 8-question phone screening interview with us. 3. Submit 2+ live-in care references that we can verify. If your live-in references are both very strong, you will move on to the next stage. 4. Have a Zoom interview with the family's recruiter. They are working to find the top 3 candidates for our client to interview. 5. Directly interview the family via Zoom. This is your time to shine and to ask questions about their specific needs and desired live-in schedule. 6. If they choose you, you will get a written job offer to consider. If you accept, you will need to move in with them by the start date (usually 2 weeks after being hired) We do not employ or co-employ any live-in. We are 3rd party recruiters that specialize in fulfilling long-term live-in positions with families. The family is the employer and pays you directly through a payroll service. All pay is on the books as a W2 employee. You negotiate all terms/schedules/duties/pay with the family, not us. Want to learn more about Grandma Joan, and what we do?
