Welcome to Carers Who Stay
Welcome
If you’re here, chances are you’re doing one of the hardest jobs there is — caring for someone day and night, often in someone else’s home, often far from your own.
This community was created for live-in carers who:
- Stay when others leave
- Hold routines together quietly
- Carry responsibility that doesn’t clock off
- And rarely get asked how they are doing
Carers Who Stay is a space for you.
Here, you don’t need to explain what a broken night feels like.
You don’t need to justify needing rest.
You don’t need to pretend you’re “fine” when you’re tired.
This is a place for:
- Real care notes & professional growth
- Emotional support without judgement
- Boundaries, burnout prevention, and sanity
- Shared experience from people who truly understand
Confidentiality matters here — no names, no identifying details.
Start by introducing yourself (only what you’re comfortable sharing):
- How long you’ve been a live-in carer
- What you find hardest about the role
- One thing you wish people understood about live-in care
You are not invisible here.
You are not “just the carer.”
You are seen, valued, and supported.
Thank you for staying.

Here’s a little pole to start. What’s your favourite part of the job?
Finally sitting down… and immediately being called again
Writing care notes like a novelist at the end of the day
The client falling asleep and you not daring to move
“I won’t need anything else” (they absolutely will)
“Can I have another cup of tea” (the fifty cups you made that morning have all gone cold)
