For caregivers without a consumer yet

Looking for someone to care for?

This list is for people who want to be paid as a caregiver but do not have anyone to care for yet. Join it and we introduce you to consumers near you who need help at home. About two minutes, no commitment, and no fee, ever.

How the list works

We make the introduction

  1. 01

    You join the list

    Tell us your county, the hours you can work and the kind of help you are comfortable giving. Nothing is published anywhere: the list is ours, not a public directory.

  2. 02

    We match on county and hours

    When a consumer near you needs a caregiver, we look at who on the list fits their county, their schedule and the help in their plan of care.

  3. 03

    We introduce you

    We call you first to check you are still interested and still available. Nobody gets your number without that call.

  4. 04

    The consumer decides, and so do you

    In CDS the consumer is the employer and chooses who they hire. You can say no to any introduction, for any reason, and stay on the list.

Two minutes

Join the caregiver list

For caregivers looking for work. If you already know the person you would care for, start here instead — they hire you directly and you do not need the list.

  • ✓No experience or certificate needed
  • ✓Full-time, part-time and fill-in work
  • ✓$15.00 an hour, paid every Thursday
  • ✓Joining does not commit you to anything

Already have someone in mind? Then you do not need this list. Call us instead — but know that the person receiving care is the one who enrolls in CDS, or switches provider to us, and we will need to speak with them directly. How that works →

Would rather do this by phone? Call 417-218-2888, Monday to Friday, 9am to 4pm.

We never ask for your Social Security number on this form, and you should never send one by email or text. Background screening happens later, once a consumer hires you, and we run it.

Already know who you would care for?

Then you do not need the list. If your parent, grandparent, friend or neighbor has Missouri Medicaid, they can hire you directly and we set the whole thing up.

Do call us to get it moving. The one thing to expect: CDS is the consumer’s program, so they are the one who enrolls with us, or asks to switch to us from their current provider. We will need to speak with them, and we are glad to do that call with you both on the line.

Spouses and legal guardians cannot be paid caregivers. Who can and cannot be the caregiver has the full rules.
