EXPERIENCED LIVE-IN CAREGIVER | CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PA
About The Position
Griswold Home Care for Cumberland County, PA is seeking experienced Live-In Caregivers to provide dependable, non-medical support to older adults who want to remain safely and comfortably in their homes. Caregivers provide hands-on assistance and companionship, supporting clients’ independence while building a sense of safety, consistency, and trust. This is a live-in position: caregivers stay in the client’s home during an assignment. Responsibilities, schedules, sleeping arrangements, time away from the home, and overnight expectations vary by client and care plan and are discussed before an assignment is accepted. Live-in care does not mean continuously working while awake for 24 hours a day; schedules, rest periods, sleeping arrangements, and compensation are explained for each assignment. Caregivers are expected to be dependable, attentive, communicative, professional, and comfortable working independently while coordinating with the local office team. Assignments are in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, with the possibility of supporting other territories, including Blair County, Philadelphia, or Northern Vermont. The posting advertises an average of $200 per day, with potential for growth.
