Care and company · Yerevan
Care for your relative –
without choosing between work and family
When a relative needs care every day, the family has to decide who gives it. It is rarely an easy decision. Renta Staffing Agency places carers in Yerevan and across Armenia. We look for people who are good at the work and good company. The second matters as much as the first.

Working arrangements for a carer

| Temporary | While the regular carer is away, on holiday or ill | on request |
The schedule and the list of duties go into the agreement, in plain English.
Yerevan and the rest of Armenia
Why this matters in Yerevan
In Armenian families, looking after an older relative is not an obligation. It is an act of love. Life still sets limits: work, children, the distance between one flat and another. Coming to an agency is not handing the responsibility over. It is a decision that the care will be there every day.

Questions
What people ask most often
What does a carer cost in Yerevan?
It depends on the arrangement and on how much care the person needs. A companion for a few hours costs a good deal less than a live-in nursing carer. Our fee is worked out from the carer’s monthly salary – 50 % of one month, of which the client pays 25 %. We will give you a range once we know the person’s condition.
Does the carer need a nursing qualification?
If there is a diagnosis that calls for procedures, readings to take or help with moving about, then yes. If the person manages alone and mainly wants somebody there to talk to, a companion carer is enough.
How quickly can you find someone?
First profiles come 3–5 days after the agreement is signed. When it is urgent we move faster. Say so when you ring: some of our candidates can start at short notice.
What if the carer is not the right person?
It happens, and the sooner you tell us the better. When someone is frail, whether they get on with the carer matters more than anything else. The agreement allows up to three free replacements while it runs.
Do you stay in touch after the carer starts?
Yes. We stay with the family for the whole term of the agreement: adjusting the schedule, sorting out disagreements, arranging cover when the carer is ill or on holiday.
