For the people who do the caring
A professional home for in-home caregivers.
Whether you're a nurse, an aide, a CNA, or an independent caregiver hired directly by a family — this is practical guidance, real stories, and a shared professional identity, built around your work and no one else's.
One membership, by design. The daily work and dignity of caregiving is the same whether or not you hold a license or work through an agency.

This badge indicates that the individual has joined NAICP as a member or completed NAICP's curated coursework, as described above. It is not a certification, license, background check, or guarantee of skill, competence, or conduct. NAICP does not vet, supervise, employ, or take responsibility for the actions of any member. Families and individuals should conduct their own independent screening, including background checks, reference checks, and interviews, before hiring any caregiver.
What a badge is — and isn't
- A signal that you belong to a professional community of caregivers.
- A record that you completed our curated coursework, with every source cited.
- Never a certification, license, or background check — and we say so, plainly, on every badge.
