Frequently asked

Does private duty pay well?
Rates are usually a little below hospital staff pay per hour, but shifts are long, predictable and far less physically punishing.
Can I contract directly with a family?
Yes, in most states — you'll need your own liability insurance and a written agreement. We help members put that paperwork together.
