FAQ · NJ caregiver careers
Do I need NJ certification to start?
For CHHA roles, yes — NJ CHHA certification is required. For companion-only roles, no formal certification is required. Sofia walks new caregivers through the path if you’re considering certification.
How fast can I start working?
Most new hires are on their first case within 7-10 days of the first call, depending on paperwork and a matching case opening in your county.
What’s pay like?
Competitive NJ-market hourly rate for the role. Sofia discusses rate transparently in the phone screen — no posted rate game.
Can I pick the hours I work?
Yes. Tell Sofia the hours that work for your life. She matches you to cases that fit, not the other way around.
Do you do live-in?
Yes — 4-day on / 3-day off rotations are the most common pattern. Paid sleep period. The continuity-first cases (dementia, post-stroke, long-term aging-in-place) are the live-in ones.
