It’s tempting to cut costs by hiring a caregiver privately. But without the proper safeguards, this option can expose families to financial, legal, and emotional stress.


Top Risks to Consider:


  • No background checks – You may not know who you’re inviting into your home.

  • Liability for injuries – If a caregiver is hurt while working, you could be held responsible.

  • Tax and labor law violations – Paying under the table may violate employment laws and create tax burdens.

  • No backup plan – If your caregiver cancels, you're left scrambling.

  • Pre-screened, experienced caregivers

  • Flexibility without the liability of being an employer

  • Affordable rates and transparent pricing

  • Peace of mind knowing someone always has your back
