What to Know About Direct Hiring

Some families consider finding a caregiver on their own through platforms like Care.com or other listing sites. While this approach may appear flexible, it often puts all responsibility on you.

If you hire directly, you are the employer—which means you’re legally responsible for:

• Conducting background checks and verifying credentials
• Managing payroll and taxes
• Securing workers’ compensation and liability coverage
• Finding a backup if the caregiver cancels
• Resolving disputes or concerns without professional support

Even with the best intentions, direct hiring can be stressful and time-consuming and may expose you to legal or financial risk.
