Live-In Caregiver | Center City Philadelphia
About The Position
Griswold Home Care for Center City Philadelphia 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, helping clients maintain independence while fostering safety, consistency, and trust. The caregiver stays in the client's home during an assignment; schedules, sleeping arrangements, time away, overnight expectations, responsibilities, and compensation vary by client and care plan and are discussed before an assignment is accepted. Live-in care does not necessarily mean continuously working while awake for 24 hours. Caregivers work independently while staying in communication with and receiving support from the local office team. Compensation starts at $200 per day, with room for growth; exact compensation depends on experience, client needs, and assignment details.
