We are fully licensed and insured and are dedicated to matching each client with a caregiver who fits their personality, needs, and lifestyle. Our caregivers are the heart of what we do, and we are committed to supporting them with clear communication, fair compensation, and a team that has their back. Position Overview We are seeking a skilled, attentive, and compassionate female live-in caregiver for a female client with a history of seizure activity. The client is largely independent in feeding herself but requires comprehensive assistance with all other activities of daily living. As a live-in caregiver, you will reside in the client's home and be available to provide care, supervision, and companionship throughout the day and evening, with designated rest periods. Seizure awareness, calm crisis response, and strong observation skills are essential for this role. This is a deeply meaningful position for someone who is dedicated, dependable, and genuinely passionate about making a difference in another person's life every single day.
