Welcome to the UW Caregiver Directories, a free service provided by Benefits & WorkLife to University of Washington faculty, staff, and students.

The Caregiver Directories are comprised of two pools of UW-affiliated individuals: those who are seeking caregiving employment (on a full-time, part-time, short-term, or intermittent basis) and those who are looking for caregivers. Caregiver duties range from caring for a child, elder or adult dependent, to running errands and light housekeeping.

The Caregiver Directory is accessible only to individuals with a UWNetID. First names only are posted. Outdated listings will be purged automatically after six months.
