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!)

The Location:

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.
