Live-In Caregiver - Cherished Companions Home Care, LLC

Do you have experience being a live-in caregiver for the elderly?

Are you looking to make money and save up for something? Are you looking for a change?

Would you be willing to live with a client for a specified amount of time in order to care for them? 

If so, we want you on our caregiving team!

What: We are looking for caregivers willing to live with and help care for clients (mainly fragile, ill, disabled, and/or elderly) in their homes for extended periods of time (weeks, months, sometimes even years). 

When: 24/7 live-in for weeks to months at at time 

Where: Clients are located throughout the eastern Cleveland- area suburbs (Eastern Cuyahoga, Lake, Geauga, Northern Portage and Northern Summit Counties). 

Pay: We offer competitive live-in pay!

Why: We are a locally owned and operated home care agency. We have one owner, one office & the same set of schedulers. With us, you're a valued individual, not just a number. We offer an outstanding compensation package to those individuals who meet our high standards to become a Cherished Companion. Our caregivers are ACTUAL EMPLOYEES of our company and not just contract workers. That means we pay all taxes and our caregivers are guaranteed the protections that go along with being an employee of a company versus being self-employed. We are also the proud winner of the Home Care Pulse 2022 awards: Best of Home Care Provider of Choice, Employer of Choice and Leader in Excellence.
