Limited Consulting Only Service
For DIY families that don't need our recruiter service.
Grandma Joan is an award-winning company that has been helping discerning families hire premium live-in caregivers on the private hire market, since 2010. We have helped household employers across the US hire more than $20,000,000 of annualized payroll. Nobody knows private-hire live-in care like we do.
But who could use our expertise once they find someone to hire.
Live-in Employer Consulting
Families can save thousands by finding a live-in caregiver to hire on their own, but can easily put ten-times that amount at risk, by not understanding the core tenets of how live-in positions work, both practically and under the federal labor regulations that govern domestic live-ins. Grandma Joan has a solution.
We have been advising families on the best practices of setting up privately hired, household live-in employees for over a decade. We have the expertise to hold your hand and guide you in both setting things up correctly and providing ongoing support as unforeseen events arise. Instead of panic and fear, you can rest assured knowing that you have access to the nation’s live-in care experts.
