Questions about hiring caregivers

Why do caregivers show intro videos instead of skill demonstrations?

Care work is not something to film in someone's home, and it should not be. Caregivers record how they introduce themselves and talk about the work, which shows communication, patience, and presence. Identity is confirmed separately.

Do you run background checks or verify certifications?

No. Vetano verifies identity with a government ID and shows the caregiver on video. Background checks, certifications, and any state requirements stay with you as the employer.

Can I hire for overnight or live-in schedules?

Yes. Caregivers list the schedules they can actually work, including overnights and weekends, so you are not negotiating availability after the interview.
