Welcome to the UW Caregiver Directory, a free service provided by Benefits & WorkLife to University of Washington faculty, staff, and students.

UNDERSTAND

The Caregiver Directory consists of two pools of UW-affiliated individuals: potential caregivers and potential employers.

1. Caregivers are those seeking employment to earn money caring for children, elders or adult dependents, running errands or doing light housekeeping. They may make them selves available for full-time, part-time, short-term, or intermittent work.
2. Employers are those wishing to hire responsible individuals to provide care for children, elders or adult dependents, running errands or doing light houskeeping.

The following Caregiver and Employer lists are available either as an Excel spreadsheet or .pdf format, and require UWNetID for access:

• Caregiver List: .pdf format or .xls format
• Employer List: .pdf format or .xls format

The lists contain first names only and listings are purged after six months. The employer generally contacts the caregiver to make all employment arrangements, however, caregivers may also contact employers.

Check for Potential Caregivers

To search for a potential caregiver, go to the Caregiver List. Once you find potential caregivers, follow these steps:

• Contact each candidate directly to screen them for a possible match;
• Schedule an in-person interview with your top candidate(s);
• Be clear about conditions of employment;
• Check references (highly recommended);
• Offer employment when ready.

Post your Needs

• Complete an Online Employer Registration form to generate your own posting in the Employer List, which will be available to potential caregivers within a few days.
• Be prepared to receive calls from potential caregivers who may respond to your posting. Remember, it is your responsibility to make arrangements with candidates, including screenings, interviews, reference checks and employment offers.

Keep Your Information Current

If you wish to update or delete your Employer listing, simply complete the Online Employer Registration form again. You are welcome to re-enroll at a later date.
