When you become a live-in carer with Oxford Aunts you will be providing one-to-one live-in care typically to an older person or a couple to enable them to live safely and comfortably in the place love best – their own home – whilst avoiding an unnecessary move into a care home. It is an immensely rewarding career choice that has many benefits, not least that you are able to provide highly personalised one-to-one care with the time afforded to really make a difference to someone’s life, which is not easily achieved in a care home setting or if you are rushing from one household to the next.
