  • Following each client’s detailed care instructions
  • Bringing in mail or packages
  • Adjusting lights, blinds, or trash/recycling when requested
  • Administering medication when within your experience and comfort level

  • Medication experience (oral, injections, fluids)
  • Holiday & weekend availability
 

Pay + Perks

  • Sitters are paid per visit, with rates typically starting around $25 per 30 minute visit, with higher pay for longer visits, overnight care, house sitting.
  • Weekly direct deposit
  • Bonus opportunities (holidays, short notice, strong feedback)
  • 100% of tips go to you
