We're hiring caregivers in Cali
The job
Eight hours a day, not twelve. A written employment contract. One fixed household, the same older person, the same hours.
You work as a pair with a colleague: one of you is the main caregiver and the other the back-up, and both of you know the family. When you can't go, the family already knows who's coming. Nobody is left on their own.
Paid on the same day, every month.
Anyone who starts in home care can move on to La Casa when it opens, without applying again.
Who's writing to you
Presente is a project to care for older people in Cali, in preparation. One person answers, always the same one, on WhatsApp.
The number has a foreign dialling code because the project is still being set up from abroad. Write to us on WhatsApp: it costs nothing and there's no need to call.
Where — Cali. In family homes and, later, at La Casa Presente.
The job — Caregiver and companion to an older person. Eight hours a day, Monday to Friday or a weekend shift.
Pay — The statutory minimum wage in force plus the transport allowance, plus a monthly bonus for punctuality and attendance. Health insurance, pension, work-accident cover, statutory bonus, severance and paid holiday. All in a written contract.
When — We're already getting to know the people who'll work with us. The service starts in 2027. We're not going to promise you a job next week: we'll tell you where the project stands and stay in touch until then.
We never ask for money.
Not to register, not for courses, not for medical tests, not for an ID card. If someone asks you for money in the name of Presente, it isn't us. Tell us.
The arithmetic, plainly
| On your own | With Presente | |
|---|---|---|
| Hours | 312 hours a month | 173 hours a month |
| Protection | No social security, no bonus, no holiday | Health insurance, pension, work-accident cover, bonus, severance, paid holiday |
| Money | Whatever was agreed by word of mouth, whenever it can be paid | Roughly the same, on a fixed date |
The same money for a little over half the hours.
