If you are the daughter, son, relative, or friend of someone who is in need of care, you can get paid to take care of them. We’ve helped thousands of people across New York and we can help you!

You get the comfort of having a caregiver who knows you, loves you, and understands you, and they get paid weekly up to $21.64 per hour. And it’s all fully covered by Medicaid!
We are with you every step of the way
We walk your caregiver through all paperwork and procedures. In-office or remote training and onboarding are available.

This depends on two things:
All work hours are subject to appropriate labor regulations and policies.
Your caregiver gets paid weekly!
Yes, but you’ll need to split the hours. For example, if Dad qualifies for 17 hours per week and Mom qualifies for 20 hours per week, you can work in the home for 37 hours and be paid for 37 hours. The hours will be split: you cannot be on the clock for both Mom and Dad at the same time.
No. You can add their hours together, but you cannot be paid double.
No. You cannot get paid for taking care of your spouse if you are legally married.
