Hospice and end-of-life caregiver jobs
A hospice team visits; it does not stay. Families caring for someone at the end of life need a calm, experienced person in the house between those visits, often through the nights.

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.
What the work involves
- Comfort care: repositioning, mouth care, keeping someone clean and warm.
- Noticing changes and telling the family and the hospice nurse.
- Sitting with someone so the family can sleep or step out.
- Steady company for a family going through the hardest weeks.
Working alongside hospice
Medical decisions, medication and symptom control belong to the hospice team. Agree with the family what you do and what you call the nurse for, and keep the hospice number where you can see it.
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.
