What is a live in?

A Live-In job typically refers to a position where an employee resides at their workplace, often in a private household or care facility. Common roles include caregivers, nannies, housekeepers, or companions who provide support and services in exchange for accommodation and salary. Live-In employees usually have scheduled working hours but may also offer on-call assistance as needed. The arrangement allows for a close, continuous level of service while providing the employee with a place to live. Specific duties, compensation, and time off vary depending on the employer's agreement.

What are the typical daily routines and responsibilities for a live in?

A Live In role typically involves a mix of caregiving or household duties, such as assisting with personal care, preparing meals, light housekeeping, and sometimes providing transportation or companionship. Your schedule may vary depending on the needs of the household, but you can expect to be available for tasks throughout the day, with agreed-upon breaks and personal time. Flexibility is important, as routines can change due to medical appointments, school activities, or other family needs. Many Live In positions offer the opportunity to form meaningful connections with those you care for while gaining valuable experience in home management and personal support.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the live in position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Live In (such as a live-in caregiver, nanny, or housekeeper), you need hands-on experience in caregiving, household management, and possibly childcare or eldercare, often with references or relevant training. Familiarity with communication tools (such as mobile devices) and, in some roles, first aid or CPR certifications are commonly required. Compassion, reliability, flexibility, and strong interpersonal skills will help you build trust with the household and adapt to varying needs. These abilities are crucial for maintaining a safe, supportive, and smoothly running living environment for the individuals or families you support.

  • Competitive Wages: Earn starting at $16.75 per hour, with pay based on your experience, education, and/or certifications, plus opportunities for overtime pay.
  • Truly Flexible Schedules: We offer 2-week shift rotations and are flexible to accommodate preferences, including night shifts, helping you find a schedule that fits your life.
  • Comprehensive Benefits: A robust package including Dental Care, Extended Health Care, Vision Care, and an Employee Assistance Program to support your overall well-being.
  • Paid Training Programs: We'll invest in you, providing paid training to enhance your skills and confidence in specialized areas.
  • Supportive Environment: You'll be part of a supervised work environment where you are genuinely valued and never alone in your important work.
  • Meaningful Connections: Opportunities for building deep, lasting relationships while providing consistent, high-quality care to our clients.
  • Travel Reimbursement: Transportation costs are reimbursed for travel to client locations.
We're Looking for Someone Who:
  • Has excellent communication skills and a truly compassionate approach.
