Medication aide jobs in private home care
Families caring for someone on several medications need more than reminders. A med-certified aide who can give medication where the state allows it is one of the hardest people for a family to find.

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 families need from a med aide
- Giving medication on a schedule, and keeping a written record.
- Watching for side effects and telling the family what you see.
- Personal care, transfers and daily routines alongside it.
- Care through diabetes, heart conditions and recovery after surgery.
Know your scope
What a medication aide may do differs from state to state, and from what a nurse may do. Tell families exactly what your certification allows, and in which state. Kalvri matches on the medication help a family describes, so families who need more than you are allowed to do are not put in front of you.
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.
