When a Family Needs a Nurse Caregiver
A nurse caregiver is needed when caring for a loved one goes beyond hygiene, meals and companionship: the doctor has prescribed regular procedures that must be done by someone with medical training. Families most often come to us after a relative is discharged from hospital, for diabetes with insulin therapy, cancer, after a stroke, or in palliative care. The family needs a nurse who not only performs injections and dressings but also notices when the patient’s condition worsens, keeps a medical log and stays in touch with the attending doctor. These are the specialists we select for private families around the world.
When treatment continues at home: prescribed drips and injections, dressings, suture care and monitoring vital signs in the first weeks.
Insulin therapy, courses of injections, blood pressure and sugar checks — the nurse does everything on time and reports any changes to the doctor.
Caring for a urinary catheter, stoma, gastrostomy or tracheostomy requires skills and sterile technique that a regular caregiver does not have.
At an advanced stage of illness the nurse helps ease symptoms as prescribed, ensures comfort and supports the family.
Nurse caregivers and medically trained specialists
Candidates with a nursing diploma, hospital experience and hands-on practice of medical procedures at home. Every specialist has been interviewed and references checked.
Nurse caregivers with international experience for home care
We place nurse caregivers with families in Europe, the UAE, the USA and other countries. We check whether the nursing diploma is recognised in the country of work and which procedures the nurse is allowed to perform, which language is needed with the attending doctor, as well as visa matters and readiness to relocate or travel with the patient.
What a nurse caregiver does
The scope of duties depends on the doctor’s orders, the patient’s condition and the rules of the country where the nurse works. Most often it includes the following.
- Intramuscular and subcutaneous injections, insulin as prescribed
- Setting up and monitoring IV drips where permitted
- Dressings, wound and surgical suture care
- Care of urinary catheters, stomas, gastrostomy and tracheostomy tubes
- Monitoring blood pressure, pulse, oxygen saturation and blood sugar, keeping a medical log
- Preparing medication, supervising intake and watching for side effects
- Preparing for tests, collecting samples, liaising with the attending doctor
- Personal hygiene for bedridden and low-mobility patients
- Pressure sore prevention, skin care and repositioning
- Help with transfers and physiotherapy exercises from the rehabilitation plan
- Feeding, including tube feeding, and monitoring diet and fluid intake
- Accompanying the patient to the clinic, procedures and consultations
- Keeping track of medication and medical supplies
- Emotional support for the patient and regular updates to the family
Additional responsibilities such as travel assistance or extended household tasks are discussed individually and outlined in the agreement.
Why choose Royal Keeper when hiring a caregiver
We help families skip months of searching and connect directly with vetted caregivers — locally and worldwide
Royal Keeper has a large private database: we have been working since 2000, and many caregivers deliberately do not post their CVs online or enter the open market. You gain access to professionals impossible to find through regular listings.
When urgent care is needed for an elderly family member, independent searching takes valuable time. We maintain a ready pool of vetted caregivers and can present suitable candidates promptly.
Should a caregiver need to leave, we handle the replacement process seamlessly. Our agency ensures minimal disruption to the established routine and emotional well-being of the elderly person.
When relocating abroad it becomes difficult to identify caregivers who understand local medical regulations, visa requirements and cultural expectations around elder care. Royal Keeper maintains an international network and selects professionals who can relocate with the family while meeting specific health and legal standards.
Without thorough background checks families may entrust elderly relatives to individuals lacking medical training or verified experience. Royal Keeper maintains detailed candidate histories, verifies references and excludes profiles that do not meet professional geriatric care standards.
Families seeking caregivers often face uncertainty about qualifications and long-term reliability. Royal Keeper handles verification and selection so you can focus on your loved one’s comfort rather than administrative concerns.

We work with private households where what matters
is not just skills, but the professional's ethics too.
Verified experience in private households and checked references.
Competency-based interviews: reactions to non-standard situations, respect for house rules and the family's personal boundaries.
Confidentiality: ban on publishing family photos and information, NDA on request.
VIP environment understanding: many candidates have already worked in public and international families.
Service pricing and cooperation terms
Ranges from 12% to 22% of the specialist’s annual salary and depends on the country of recruitment, the level of the position, the urgency of the search, and the selected contract format. The replacement guarantee period ranges from 6 to 12 months, and the number of replacements depends on the selected contract.
Payment is made in two stages: an initial deposit is required to confirm the order and start work on the request, and the remaining balance is paid after the candidate has been approved.
Special conditions are available for returning clients, repeat requests, and orders involving the selection of several specialists for one family.
Nurse caregiver
at home
A nurse caregiver is a qualified nurse who combines everyday personal care with medical procedures. This kind of help is needed when an elderly or seriously ill person has regular injections or IV drips prescribed, needs dressings, catheter, stoma or feeding tube care, and their condition must be monitored constantly. A private nurse at home saves the family daily trips to the clinic and visits from different specialists: all procedures are done by one person who knows the patient well.
Royal Keeper selects nurse caregivers with a verified diploma and experience in hospitals, intensive care, hospices or home nursing services. We check education and licences, run interviews that assess practical skills and request references from previous employers. The nurse works strictly according to the attending doctor’s orders and does not replace the doctor; the range of permitted procedures depends on her qualification and on the rules of the country where she works.
Care can be live-in, on a 24-hour schedule or as daytime visits, and for patients with complex needs we arrange round-the-clock care with two nurses working in rotation. The family receives profiles of suitable candidates, interviews them and chooses the nurse, while we support the contract, the agreed duties and the first weeks of work.
We place home care nurses in Germany, Switzerland, Israel, the UAE and other countries. If no medical procedures are needed, an elderly caregiver may be the right choice.
