Live-In Care Companion & Home-Share Opportunity
Location: Old Town, Fort Collins, CO
Rent: Waived in exchange for support
Availability: Starting April-September 2025
A Unique Living & Support Opportunity
I’m looking for a trustworthy, kind, and dependable live-in companion to share my home in Old Town Fort Collins. This is more than just a housing arrangement—it’s a chance to build a meaningful connection, enjoy a supportive environment, and benefit from mentorship while living in one of the best areas in town.
This role is not a full-time caregiving job, but I do require overnight presence at least five nights per week. Most of the time, you are free to sleep, but I need someone available in case of emergencies and, from time to time, to assist with a simple nighttime turn (around 3 AM, which takes about five minutes).
This opportunity is flexible depending on your qualifications, interests, and work eligibility. Some individuals may provide only overnight presence, while others may wish to take on additional responsibilities for pay based on experience.
What This Involves
Overnight presence is required at least five nights per week. You are free to sleep, but I need someone here in case assistance is needed, e.g., to help me turn on my side.
Being available in case of an emergency. Most nights will be completely uninterrupted.
Flexible arrangement depending on your skills and interests. If you qualify for paid caregiving work, opportunities are available.
Other Responsibilities (Optional, Based on Qualifications & Interest)
If you have caregiving or healthcare experience, there may be an opportunity to take on additional responsibilities, including:
Assisting with personal care (bathing, dressing, hygiene, grooming).
Helping with mobility (safe wheelchair/bed transfers using a patient lift—no physical lifting required).
Meal preparation, housekeeping, and home organization.
Driving my wheelchair-accessible vehicle for errands, outings, or appointments.
Engaging in recreational activities (walks, music events, exploring Fort Collins).
These responsibilities are not required, but available for those who are interested.
Who This Might Be a Good Fit For
Someone looking for a place to live in Fort Collins while attending CSU or working.
A student, professional, or caregiver interested in an intercultural exchange and supportive home environment.
Someone with a background in caregiving, OT, PT, healthcare, or wellness who may want additional responsibilities.
A kind, responsible, and dependable person who values meaningful connections and open communication.
For International Applicants
For non-native English speakers, Colorado State University offers an Intensive English Program (IEP) through the Programs for Learning Academic and Community English (PLACE). This program provides language and cultural support for those looking to improve their English skills while living in Fort Collins.
If you are from outside the U.S. and hold a B1 visa, there may be an opportunity to participate in a volunteer caregiver and home-share arrangement, similar to an au pair-style setup.
