Common questions
What is your approach to social media?
Payment + benefits depend on the patient’s location and insurance plan. Please call us at to find out your exact rates.
How many hours will I be able to work?
This depends on two things:
i. How many hours the consumer is approved for.
ii. How many hours the consumer wants you to work.
All work hours are subject to appropriate labor regulations and policies.
Is there a minimum number of hours I have to work?
No. Some benefits are affected by the number of hours worked, but you’ll get paid as a caregiver for whatever hours you worked.
How often will I get paid?
You’ll get paid every Friday — guaranteed. (As long as you submitted your hours properly, of course!) Our caregivers appreciate that their payments come in like clockwork; no exceptions.
How will I get paid?
You’ll get a paycheck every Friday by direct deposit, mailed check, or pay card (provided at no cost).
Can I care for more than one patient at a time?
Yes, but you’ll need to split the hours. For example, if Mom qualifies for 23 hours per week and Dad qualifies for 20 hours per week, you can work in the home for 43 hours and be paid for 43 hours. The hours will be split: you cannot be on the clock for both Mom and Dad at the same time.
I I care for both my parents at same time, do I get paid double?
See question above. You can add their hours together and work all the hours, but you will never get paid double per hour.
Can I care for more than one patient at a time?
Yes, but you’ll need to split the hours. For example, if Mom qualifies for 23 hours per week and Dad qualifies for 20 hours per week, you can work in the home for 43 hours and be paid for 43 hours. The hours will be split: you cannot be on the clock for both Mom and Dad at the same time.
Can I get to take care of my spouse ?
No – not if you are legally married to your spouse.
Will I get paid off ?
As you work, you’ll accrue up to 40 paid sick hours each year. Plus, you can get direct deposit, paid family leave, and disability (if you qualify). And in many NY locations, caregivers are eligible for a free health benefits package.
Will you reimburse my travel coast?
No, we are unable to reimburse travel expenses on this program.
