When you hire directly rather than through an agency, the checking is yours. Meet in person, ask for two references from families or employers and call them, look at a photo ID, and ask for consent to a background check. If a caregiver says they are a certified nursing assistant, look them up on the state nurse aide registry. Start with a paid trial shift before agreeing a regular schedule.
Most requests are a few hours on weekday mornings or afternoons, a run of overnights after a hospital stay, or weekend respite for a family member. At $16.25 an hour, the Florida median aide wage, 20 hours a week comes to about $1,408 a month in wages, 13% of the $11,053 monthly median income of Naples households headed by someone 65 or older. Caregivers on this site set their own rates.

Who is the employer. When you hire a caregiver directly, you are the employer. The Florida minimum wage is $15.00 an hour (effective by October 2026 (U.S. Department of Labor state table)); the federal minimum of $7.25 and federal overtime rules apply to directly employed caregivers unless the work is exempt companionship under the FLSA.

BLS reports caregiver wages for states and metro areas, not towns. In Florida the middle half of employed home health and personal care aides earned $15.16 to $17.25 an hour in May 2025.
No agency tracks private rates. A caregiver you hire directly will usually expect more than the employed-aide median and less than an agency rate; every caregiver on this site lists an hourly rate on their profile, and the hiring guide covers taxes and overtime.
Before the first shift, put the duties, hours, hourly rate, overtime and payment method in writing, and keep signed timesheets. A caregiver you employ directly is usually your household employee, so tax and minimum wage rules apply; the IRS Household Employer's Tax Guide (Publication 926) explains the tax side, and the U.S. Department of Labor's direct care page explains when minimum wage and overtime apply. Never share bank logins or let a new caregiver handle large sums.
CaregiverConnect is a marketplace, not an agency: you hire the caregiver directly, which is why there is no agency mark-up on their hourly rate. That also means screening is your responsibility, and we tell you how.
Browsing, posting and receiving applications are free. Messaging and confirming a hire are part of Family Premium ($24.99/month, cancel any time). No commission on what you pay the caregiver; see the pricing page.
