We are looking for engaging, compassionate individuals from the arts who are interested in supporting an older adult who lives in Manhattan. Those who have caregiving experience are encouraged to apply. A companion position can require just several hours per week, or as much as 30+ hours per week. Duet is a companion care agency serving Manhattan, Northern Brooklyn, and parts of Queens and the Bronx. Our mission is to connect our elder clients with outstanding companions who can improve their quality of life through social engagement, meaningful activities, and help with daily tasks that get more difficult with age.
