Home Helpers
Home-helpers are there for anyone who may need a little extra help around their home. They are like a second pair of hands for you and can help you do anything you are unable to do. There isn’t much of a difference between home-helpers and elder caregivers except that home-helpers are not limited to the elder. If you broke your leg, are recovering from major surgery, or anything else that may limit your ability in any way, a home helper can help you keep your normal routine going.
The following are examples of what home-helpers typically do:
Home-helpers usually can make anywhere from $10-$20 per hour according to the duties required, the distance, and experience. For those making less than $20 per hour we require a minimum of 2 hours of work, or a minimum of $20 if only needed for one hour.

Senior Companions
A senior companion is not quite the same as those listed above. The main difference is that they are there to keep you company, and take you to do all the things you enjoy doing. They also help around the house, and can run errands and do a lot of the things a caregiver will do; however, they are usually hired for those who may already have a housekeeper and just want a little company.
Below are a few examples of where a senior companion may drive their employer:
Senior caregiver’s salary can range from $100-$1000 per week depending upon the hours, if they are live-in/out, travel, and duties.

Before downloading the application please read our guidelines for all applicants applying with the Deborah Calkin Agency below.
- The Deborah Calkin Agency has a no tolerance "no show" policy. If a situation arises where a domestic employee is not able to make it into work after a placement, the domestic employee must call their employer as soon as they know they are not going to make it in we will not be able to place them again in the future. The same rule applies for being late or scheduling an interview with the Deborah Calkin Agency.
- If we discover anyone applying for a position using any false information in a resume, references, or job experience, we will not be able to place them or use them again in the future.
- Honesty is the best policy. We only place applicants who are sincere, responsible and reliable. In some cases, if we are impressed with an applicant who may not have a lot of professional experience (hey, everyone has to start somewhere right?) we will do our best to place them with a client who is more flexible and open to someone with a lot of potential lacking the experience.
- If any applicant is not willing to take a drug test if requested by our agency or a client, or is unable to bring the required documents to an interview please do not apply. Most clients will not request a drug test, however, we only use applicants who we are sure will be more than willing to take a drug test and pass it.
- If an applicant does not have a resume for the position they are applying for then make one! Providing a resume shows professionalism, and the DCA does not accept anything less.
- Each domestic applicant must provide 3 personal non-related references by former employers, teachers, professors, coaches, pastors, etc...
- All applicants' needs a minimum of 2 references related to the position they are applying to, or a minimum of one year of experience. However, some positions require a minimum of 3-5 years of professional experience.
- All applicants must be willing to undergo a further in depth investigation if requested by a client or the Deborah Calkin Agency, such as fingerprinting or a credit report if entering a management position.
- If we are unable to get in touch with at least 2 or 3 references within 1 week we will be unable to send an applicant to interview for any positions. If an applicant's references do not respond we will contact the applicant, and then it is the applicant's responsibility to get in touch with their references and have them call the agency.
- If any applicant violates any written agreements signed with the Deborah Calkin Agency they may be held financially responsible for any lost wages incurred by the agency, or face legal judgments.
