Live-in Caregiver Payroll Estimate

Find out how much we believe a private-hire live-in will cost in payroll dollars for your location and situation. Grandma Joan has been helping families recruit professional live-ins since 2010. We have a good feel for what you will need to spend to secure and retain someone of quality while paying them according to state and federal labor laws. Important to note is that the payroll estimate is to serve as a benchmark for negotiations. You and the candidates that we recruit for you make any and all final determinations as to their pay, services, schedules, and employability.

Detailed description of your situation / tell us about your concerns and needs.
Most live-in caregivers will need some time off each week/month for respite to reduce the chances of burnout. Their off time is their time to leave the house and have no duties or responsibilities, including, not being on-call. With that in mind, look over the below sample schedules and see which comes closest to your ideal schedule.

Lastly, don't pay too much attention to the sample start/end hours, as you can adjust these to suit your needs. For example, a shift can start at 6am instead of 7am, and end at 10pm, instead of 11pm.

Note: In almost all cases, CA residents are required to pay their live-in employee for their entire 8-hour sleep shift.
Sample 1: Off one 24-hr day, once a week.Sample 2/3: Off one 12-hour shift, or two 6-hour shifts each week.Sample 4/8: Off 3 hours each day.Sample 5: off 6 hours each day.Sample 6: No time off. Best paired with other schedules, alternating weeks.Sample 7: Off 2 hours before and 2 hrs after a 12-hour shift + 1 whole day off.We are unsure of our needs at this point.
