The right person, not the right resume.
We care about character, not credentials. If you are kind, reliable, and present -- you are qualified.
Warm, patient, reliable. The foundation of everything.
Comfortable living with an aging adult. This is a shared home, not a shift.
Background check required. Safety and trust come first.
No certification required. We train you. CNA/HHA experience welcome but not necessary.
"If your neighbors would trust you with their parent, you are qualified."
Ownership changes everything.
co-op.care is a worker-owned cooperative. When you join, you do not just get a job. You get a vote, equity, and a share of the cooperative's success. You help shape the decisions. You benefit when it grows.
The home care industry has a 77% annual turnover rate. Our target is 15%. The difference is not better pizza parties. The difference is ownership.
A home that needs a steady presence.
A daughter caring for her aging father in Boulder. She works full-time. He is independent but benefits from daily companionship and light support -- someone to share a morning walk, help with a meal, offer a steady and friendly presence throughout the day.
The home is warm, clean, and well-maintained. It is located less than a mile from Boulder Community Health, in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to trails, shops, and transit. The fourth bedroom is private and yours.
