Live In Care Aid Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Are you an experienced caregiver who takes pride in being reliable, communicative, attentive, and compassionate?

Griswold Home Care for Northern Vermont is looking for experienced Live-In Caregivers to provide dependable, non-medical support to older adults who want to remain safely and comfortably in their own homes.

Live-in care is about more than being present in a client's home. It's about creating a sense of safety, consistency, companionship, and trust for someone who may need support throughout the day and overnight.

We're looking for caregivers who understand the responsibility that comes with this type of care and who are committed to providing professional, respectful service.

As a live-in caregiver, you'll provide hands-on assistance and companionship while helping your client maintain as much independence as possible.

Depending on the client's individual needs, responsibilities may include:

• Assisting with activities of daily living and personal care
• Providing companionship and meaningful conversation
• Meal preparation and assistance with meals
• Light housekeeping and maintaining a comfortable living environment
• Medication reminders
• Mobility and transfer assistance, as appropriate
• Assistance with toileting and incontinence care, when needed
• Transportation to appointments, errands, or activities when applicable
• Supporting routines and daily activities
• Encouraging independence and participation in activities
• Monitoring for changes in the client's condition, mood, behavior, or needs
• Communicating important observations and concerns to the office and/or family
• Following the client's individualized care plan
• Providing overnight presence and assistance when required
• Maintaining client dignity, privacy, and safety at all times

We believe experienced caregivers deserve to feel supported and respected.

Depending on the assignment, benefits and opportunities may include:

• Competitive live-in compensation based on experience and client needs
• Annual performance reviews
• AVA Bonus Program
• Caregiver referral bonus opportunities
• Overtime opportunities when applicable
• Paid holidays when working
• 401(k)
• Paid Time Off (PTO) after one year of service
• Ongoing caregiver training
• Support from an experienced local office team
• Opportunities for additional assignments based on availability and client needs

This is a live-in position, meaning the caregiver stays in the client's home during the assignment.

The exact responsibilities, schedule, sleeping arrangements, time away from the home, and overnight expectations vary by client and care plan and will be discussed before accepting an assignment.

Live-in caregivers must be comfortable with:

• Staying overnight in a client's home
• Maintaining a professional caregiver/client relationship
• Following the client's care plan and household expectations
• Communicating with the office regarding changes or concerns
• Maintaining appropriate boundaries while living in the client's home
• Being away from home for extended periods when accepting a live-in assignment

Important: Live-in care is not the same as being continuously awake and actively working 24 hours a day. Specific schedules, rest periods, sleeping arrangements, and compensation will be explained based on the assignment and applicable requirements.

Live-in care requires a high level of trust and responsibility.

We need caregivers who:

You understand that consistency matters. Your client and their family are counting on you.

You keep the office informed and promptly report concerns, changes, or problems.

You take your commitments seriously and complete the responsibilities you've agreed to take on.

You notice changes in your client's needs rather than waiting for someone else to identify them.

You look for appropriate ways to make your client's day safer, more comfortable, and more enjoyable.

You understand that you are working in someone's personal living space and conduct yourself professionally.

Although you may be living in the client's home, you are never expected to operate without support. Communication with the Griswold office team is essential.

• At least 2 years of professional caregiving experience with older adults
• Previous in-home or live-in caregiving experience strongly preferred
• Experience with personal care and activities of daily living preferred

• Dependable and punctual
• Strong communication skills
• Comfortable working independently
• Able to follow care plans and instructions
• Comfortable communicating with families and office staff
• Able to recognize and report changes in a client's condition or needs
• Respectful of client privacy and personal boundaries
• Strong work ethic and professional judgment

• High School Diploma or GED
• Authorized to work in the United States
• Reliable transportation
• Valid driver's license and automobile insurance when transportation is required for the assignment
• Ability to successfully complete required background and employment screenings
• Ability to meet the physical requirements of the position

This position may be a great fit for someone who:

• Enjoys building a strong relationship with one client
• Values consistency and routine
• Is comfortable working independently
• Has strong boundaries and professionalism
• Can adapt to different client personalities and household environments
• Is patient, observant, and proactive
• Takes communication seriously
• Wants to make a meaningful difference in someone's everyday life

• Frequently cancel or change your availability
• Have difficulty communicating with an office team
• Are uncomfortable staying in a client's home
• Prefer highly structured supervision throughout your shift
• Are not comfortable following an individualized care plan
• Are looking for a position where you can come and go without coordinating with the care team

Our clients need consistency. We need caregivers we can count on.

At Griswold Home Care, we know that exceptional care starts with exceptional caregivers.

You'll have an experienced office team supporting you throughout your assignment. We value communication, accountability, and professionalism—and we want caregivers to feel respected for the important work they do.

Our mission is simple:

As a live-in caregiver, you have the opportunity to become a trusted and meaningful part of someone's life.

If you're an experienced caregiver who is reliable, communicative, professional, and genuinely committed to providing excellent care, we want to hear from you.
