Senior caregiver jobs, caring for older adults at home
Most older adults want to stay in their own homes, and their families are looking for one steady person to make that possible. If you already do this work, you can do it directly for a family, at your rate.

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.
The work families describe
- Company, conversation and noticing when something is off.
- Meals, light housekeeping, laundry and errands.
- Bathing, dressing, the toilet and getting around the house.
- Medication reminders, and rides to appointments.
- Overnight help, or living in, as needs grow.
What makes a family choose you
- Reliability. The same person at the same hours matters more than almost anything.
- Patience, and a way of helping that keeps their parent's dignity.
- Experience with what they are facing: memory loss, Parkinson's, a fall, recovery after hospital.
- Families who can tell them what you were like to work with.
Pick the kind of care you give
Some caregivers do company and household help only. Others do hands-on personal care, transfers or medication. Tell Kalvri exactly what you do and what you don't, and families who need something you've ruled out are never 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.
