Experienced Private-Hire Live-In Caregiver – $118,000-$152,000

Grandma Joan Live-in Consulting and Recruiting • Colorado Springs, CO

2d • Onsite

About The Position

This is a true live-in position with one private client, not an hourly shift, overnight shift, or occasional agency live-in assignment. The caregiver will relocate and move into the client’s private home, have their own private bedroom, and sleep in the client’s home on scheduled work nights. The role involves assisting the client with memory care, activities of daily living (ADLs), cooking, housekeeping, and other household needs. Scheduled breaks to leave the home will be provided based on the agreed-upon schedule. Grandma Joan is a nationwide household-employer recruiting service specializing exclusively in full-time live-in caregivers. Since 2010, families across the United States have contracted with Grandma Joan to find, screen, and recruit experienced caregivers for long-term live-in positions in their private homes. The care recipient is a couple in their 80s in Colorado Springs, CO, who require assistance with ADLs and IADLs. They use a walker and wheelchair and can pivot transfer. Household and non-care needs include meal preparation, medication reminders, driving, errands, light housekeeping, laundry, and companionship. The job will start with just the mother upon her discharge on 10/4, with the father discharging at the end of November.
