This isn't a task-based gig
Unlike other companion roles, Kin Members don't run errands or provide care. Your role is simple: show up, be present, and connect.
What you'll actually do
Have real conversations
Listen, ask questions, and connect—no scripts.
Be fully present
Your attention is the value.
Rotate across residents
Fresh interactions each week.
Create something to look forward to
Consistency matters more than anything.
What this role is not
Clear boundaries matter. Kin Members do NOT provide:
- Transportation or errands
- Meal prep or household tasks
- Medical care or therapy
- Personal care assistance
- Home maintenance or repairs
We are companions, not caregivers or therapists.

Our standards
We're selective—intentionally.
Not everyone is a fit. We look for people who understand that sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is simply listen.
If that resonates, we'd love to meet you.
We look for people who are:
- Emotionally intelligent
- Reliable and consistent
- Curious about others
- Comfortable with older adults
- Present, patient, and respectful
