Help your students gain skills employers seek

Truly Care connects students and early professionals with in-home caregiving jobs supporting children and young adults who are neurodivergent or have extra care needs.

These aren’t just side jobs, they’re stepping stones into healthcare, social work, and education careers.

Jumpstart careers. Build skills. Support community.

Caring for a disabled child was one of the best things I could have done as a student. I gained real-world experience I still use today.

Faculty FAQs

Is there a cost for students?
Other than a customary background check, it is currently free to join, create a profile, and become eligible for jobs.
Do students need certifications?
Students working through Truly Care typically do NOT need formal certifications. California requires certifications for certain personal care services, but companionship services and respite care do not require Home Health Aide or Home Care Aide certification.

Truly Care operates as a marketplace connecting families with students for non-medical support—including companionship, temporary supervision, and respite services that provide valuable caregiving experience without requiring medical training.
How flexible are the jobs?
Very. Care providers set their hours and rate, and accept only the jobs that fit their schedule.
Is this safe and vetted?
Trust is at our core. Care providers must complete a background check in order to message with families who have posted jobs. Families often request professional references so we encourage care providers to be prepared to provide at least 2 references from prior jobs.
Can I share this with my department?
Absolutely! Please download and post our one-page flyer here.
