Dementia caregiver jobs
Families caring for someone with dementia are looking hardest for people who have done it before. If that is you, your experience is exactly what they need.

Kalvri for caregivers, at a glance
- Cost to you
- Nothing. Caregivers never pay: not to apply, not to match, not to talk to a family.
- Commission
- None. Kalvri takes no cut of your rate.
- Who pays you
- The family, directly, at the rate you agree together.
- Your hours
- You set them. Families who need other hours, or work you won't do, aren't brought to you.
- To join
- A free application, about 15 minutes. A person reads every one, and you hear back either way.
- Who can apply
- 18 or over, able to work in the US, paid caregiving experience, and an iPhone.
Show families what you know
- The stages you have cared through, and for how long.
- How you handle sundowning, wandering and refusals.
- Any dementia-specific training you have.
- The hours you can commit to consistently — consistency is what these families value most.
Questions families will ask you
- What worked in the late afternoon for someone you cared for?
- What do you do when someone insists on going home when they are already home?
- How do you handle a refusal to bathe or to take medication?
- Have you cared for someone through the later stages?
How Kalvri works for caregivers
Caregivers never pay Kalvri anything. Until Kalvri opens on the App Store you apply once, and a person reads every application. In the app you tell Kalvri your hours, your rate, your skills and what you will not do, and families whose needs you meet see you, ranked by fit.
- No fee to apply, no commission, and every conversation is free on your side. The family pays you directly, and every dollar is yours.
- Families who need work you have said you won't do, or more than the hours or distance you set, are not put in front of you.
- What you say you will not do is respected. Kalvri never pushes you toward work you have ruled out.
- You talk with a family before anything is agreed, and you can review the families you work for.
Apply once, free
One application covers every kind of work you do. About fifteen minutes, a person reads it, and you hear back either way.
