Caring for someone around the clock is more than one person can do well for long. That is why families looking for help with an aging parent, or with a loved one living with a disability or illness, often turn to a couple. Two caregivers can share the nights, cover each other's breaks and keep a household running without burning out.

Not seeing the perfect opportunity today?
Job listings by nature are temporary. This is why a job search can’t be a one time situation. If you really want to find the perfect couples position, you have to watch what becomes available over a period of time.
We can’t predict the future job listings in this section, but if you want to see the types of positions you can expect over time, we suggest you take a look at the archived jobs. These jobs are not currently open, but we keep the titles and descriptions available, so that you can get a better feel for the jobs that do get posted in this category and/or location.
In a typical live-in caregiver arrangement, one partner focuses on personal care: help with bathing, dressing and mobility, medication reminders, meals and companionship. The other often handles driving to appointments, errands, housekeeping, yard work and home maintenance, and steps in for care when needed. Some positions are in private homes. Others are in small group homes or assisted living settings that hire resident couples.
These are live-in couple jobs in the truest sense. Private quarters within the home, a guest suite or a cottage on the property are common, and many include meals and utilities. Clarify early whether the role is non-medical companion care or involves hands-on medical tasks, since requirements differ by state.
When you apply, share your caregiving experience, whether professional or with your own family, along with certifications such as CNA, home health aide, CPR or first aid. Families are trusting you with someone they love, so patience, good references and a clean background check matter most.
