How it Works

1. Create a Profile
   The first step of joining CaregiverNC is to create a profile. In addition to your basic information, your profile will showcase your skills, experience and education as a Caregiver. There is also a field where you may enter any certifications, education or licenses that pertain to your business as a Caregiver. All information submitted to CaregiverNC will be reviewed, so please ensure their validity. You will also have the opportunity to enter the distance you are willing to travel to provide care and specific services you offer. This includes entering which tasks that you are willing or unwilling to do for Care Seekers.
2. Search for Available Caregiver Opportunities
   With the information you’ve submitted, CaregiverNC’s matching database filters through the profiles of Care Seekers and finds potential matches that fit your specific skill set. From there, you may inquire about available caregiver requests or wait to be contacted by a potential Care Seeker.
3. Establish Services and Your Fees
   Once you have connected with a Care Seeker, you can discuss details of the opportunity and provide any additional information they might request for elderly care and home care assistance. You will determine matters of scheduling and rate of pay directly with the Care Seeker.

1. Create a Profile
   To join CaregiverNC, you will first create a profile. In addition to your basic information, your profile will show the services you are looking for and information about the qualities and skills you need your Caregiver to have. Being as specific as possible is important to helping our Caregiver registry’s matching database pair you accurately with potential Caregivers.
2. Review Profiles of Caregivers                             
   Once your profile is complete, CaregiverNC’s matching database filters the profiles of Caregivers. The database produces a list of Caregivers close to you who best match your needs and requirements and allows you to choose which home care professional you’d like to work with. These Caregiver profiles are available for you to view so you can be sure the professional you choose will fit well into your daily life and home.
3. Contact Your Caregiver                          
   You may directly contact any caregivers that fit your requirements to discuss schedules and rate of pay. Care seekers looking for full-service support can upgrade to premium services for additional support.
