## What is CareJan?

CareJan is the first bilingual English/Farsi marketplace built for Persian-speaking families in Southern California who need culturally aligned in-home caregivers.

Finding the right caregiver is deeply personal — especially when language, cultural values, and family traditions matter. CareJan was created to solve this problem for the Iranian and Persian diaspora community.

HOW IT WORKS

Families create a free account, browse caregiver profiles, and connect directly with caregivers who speak Farsi and understand Persian culture. Caregivers build detailed profiles showcasing their specialties, availability, experience, and cultural competencies.

KEY FEATURES

• Bilingual Interface: Full English and Farsi support throughout the app
• Real-Time Messaging: Communicate directly with caregivers in your preferred language
• IHSS Matching (Always Free): Find IHSS-eligible caregivers at no cost — CareJan never charges for IHSS connections, in full compliance with anti-kickback regulations
• Private Pay Search: Browse caregivers available for private-pay arrangements
• Cultural-Fit Skills: caregivers list Persian cuisine and tahdig, Halal or Kosher meal preparation, Noruz customs, tarof norms and multi-generational household experience
• Detailed Profiles: Profile photos, cultural-fit and care-experience skills, weekly availability, years of experience, and reviews from families
• Search That Fits: filter by Farsi-speaking caregivers, IHSS or private pay, and hourly rate, with results sorted by distance when you share your location
• Reviews from Families: a star rating and a note from families connected on CareJan, moderated within 24 hours

PRIVACY FIRST

CareJan collects only what it needs: your name, email, profile details, messages and reviews, and your location while you search, used only to sort caregivers by distance and never collected in the background. There is no third-party ad tracking, and there are no third-party analytics or tracking SDKs. Your data stays between you and the caregivers you choose to contact.

COMPLIANCE

CareJan operates as a Domestic Referral Agency under California Civil Code Section 1812.5095. We connect families with caregivers — we are not an employer, staffing agency, or home care organization. The family hires the caregiver directly; caregivers set their own rates and schedules.

Built with care for the Persian community in Southern California. CareJan — where families find caregivers who feel like family.
