By joining our directory, Caregivers can increase their visibility, making it easier for potential clients to find the support they need. While we facilitate these connections, we do not provide job placement services. Instead, Caregivers manage their profiles, showcasing their qualifications, specialties, and availability directly to interested parties.

We believe this approach fosters personal connections, helping individuals find the right Caregiver for their needs. If you’re a certified Survival CPR® Caregiver, we encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to reach a wider audience and share your valuable services.
