live-in caregiver

Pauline Watkins · Victoria, BC · $24.65 hourly

Verdict

This posting shows legitimate structural elements (detailed task list, realistic salary for live-in caregiver role, permanent full-time position with room and board) and operates through established job boards (Job Bank, Novices Jobs). However, the employer is an individual private party rather than a registered company, and verification is limited. The email domain belongs to the job board rather than an independent business domain, which is typical for individual employers using job boards. No strong fraud signals are present, but the lack of independent employer verification and private-individual status warrant moderate caution.
