  • Following each client's detailed care instructions
  • Bringing in mail or packages
  • Adjusting lights, blinds, or trash/recycling when requested
  • Administering medication when within your experience and comfort level

  • Drop-ins: 30 / 45 / 60 minutes (1–3x daily)

Pay + Perks

  • Weekly direct deposit
  • Bonus opportunities (holidays, short notice, strong feedback)
  • 100% of tips go to you
