Founded by Caregivers, Trusted by Families
In 2007, a few friends who were each caring for an aging parent noticed a lack of information online to help them navigate the complexities of caregiving. Not finding the one-stop online resource they needed, they decided to create it themselves. The result was Caring.com.
Today, our company is filled with people working to make a difference for others. Here are a few members of the team and what caregiving means to them.

There is great satisfaction when I find the right services for a senior in need and I give a family peace of mind. I am passionate about the work that I do. At the end of every day, I know that I am making a difference in a family’s life."

Working with Caring.com has been so very rewarding and has given me a lot of joy over the years. Helping seniors and their loved ones find the resources that they are looking for in what can be a very turbulent time is very satisfying. I look forward to being able to do this for years to come. One of my favorite sayings is "Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none!"

Carla was very friendly and helpful and offered many suggestions. Both my wife and I were pleased with her attitude and general concern for our situation. We both felt like she genuinely cared and wanted to help us get the best care for my father possible.
