How can I get a job as a live in companion?

To become a Live-In Companion, you need the skills to help with common household tasks, such as cleaning and cooking. You must also have the skills to provide general care for your client. You can start on this home-care career by earning a high school diploma. Since your duties include providing assistance in case of emergency, employers usually expect certification in CPR or basic lifesaving skills (BLS). You work in the client’s home, so you need a driver’s license or other means of transport. Your responsibilities may include lifting or positioning your client, so the qualifications for some companion jobs include physical strength and stamina.
