Elevated live-in care for families across the Northeast.
Marlene places one exceptional caregiver in one home, and builds a full support system around that person. A registered nurse who manages medications, doctors and the family. A plan built around how the client actually wants to live. An organization that answers the phone at two in the morning.
We serve private-pay families in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland. It is a different model from hourly home care, and it is the one that lets people stay at home well.
A more meaningful tomorrow.
Exceptional live-in caregivers wanted.
We are hiring our founding group of caregivers now, ahead of opening. The people we bring on in the next few months will set the standard everyone after them is measured against.
Between now and December
How hiring works from here.
We are interviewing, screening and onboarding caregivers now. First placements begin when we open to clients in December 2026, and we match caregivers to families ahead of that date wherever we can, so that nobody starts as a stranger.
Apply today and you are in the first group we place. If the timing does not work for you yet, tell us when it will and we will keep in touch.
The work
What is different about working here
- One client at a time
- You are placed with one family and you stay. Three weeks on, one week off, scheduled far enough ahead that you can plan a trip home around it.
- A nurse behind you, not above you
- Every client has a Care Director, a registered nurse who handles medications, doctors and the family. When something changes, you make one call. You are never the only person responsible for what happens next.
- Relief that is actually planned
- Your week off is covered by someone who already knows the house and the routine. Finding your own replacement is not your job.
- Matched, not assigned
- We match on temperament, routine, cooking, pets and household before we match on availability. A placement that fits is one you can hold for years, and that is the point.
What we ask
Experience, judgment and discretion.
- ✓Live-in caregiving experience
- ✓Legally authorized to work in the United States
- ✓Comfortable living in a client's home and discreet in houses where privacy matters
- ✓Steady when something goes wrong, and reliable when nobody is watching
Certification helps. Judgment, warmth and reliability matter more.

I have built and run a home care company before. The best caregivers I worked with were the ones who stayed with one family long enough to truly know them, and the system around them almost never made that easy.
Marlene is the attempt to build that system first. If that is the kind of work you want, I would like to hear from you early.
