FAQ

Is RedKnot safe for me?

Your safety is a top priority. We are a established US corporation since 2019 and we are compliant with all applicable regulations and laws. We have an extensive process to ensure that you are safe every second of your experience: We conduct comprehensive background checks on all families, offer a thorough orientation on local safety protocols, and maintain a 24/7 support line in case of emergencies. We also encourage caregivers to reach out at any time with concerns or requests for additional support.

What qualifications do I need to be eligible as a caregiver?

To qualify, you must hold a relevant degree in a field such as physical therapy, psychology, nursing, or special education. Previous experience working with children with special needs is highly valued, as is a commitment to providing compassionate, individualized care.

What kind of support will I receive once I am placed with a family?

Our team provides ongoing support, including access to additional resources, regular check-ins, and a 24/7 emergency line. We’re here to help you navigate any challenges that arise during your placement.

What are the expected living arrangements?

Caregivers typically live with the family they support. Room and board are provided by the family, and private accommodation is arranged whenever possible to ensure your comfort and privacy.

Will I have time off and paid vacation?

Yes, all caregivers have designated time off, which includes regular days off each week and a set number of paid vacation days annually. Specific schedules are arranged directly with the family to accommodate both parties' needs.

How is my compensation structured?

Compensation varies based on experience, location, and specific duties, but it will be competitive with caregiver roles in high-income countries, such as the US. Your pay is also supplemented by room and board provided by the family.

What type of duties will I have to engage in?

Your primary responsibility will be taking care of children with special needs. Even though you won’t be responsible to provide medical advise or to recommend therapies, you might be asked to provide relevant treatments. You might also be asked to hep in day-to-day activities (such as housekeeping). Your responsibilities in each case will be defined and agreed with you and with the family before you move to their houses, and reflected in your compensation accordingly.
