Farsi (Persian) Speaking Caregiver Jobs in New York
A client's morning often starts the same way, whether the caregiver speaks English, Farsi, or both: a knock, a greeting, a question about how the night went. For Persian families, that greeting landing in Farsi — rather than translated, rather than approximated — is often the difference between a caregiver who feels like a stranger and one who feels like family. That's what 7 Day Home Care is hiring for: Farsi (Persian) speaking Home Health Aides (HHAs), Personal Care Aides (PCAs) and Companion Caregivers across Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Nassau County and Suffolk County.
Apply in person Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–2:00 PM at our Lake Success office, or call (516) 408-0034 with questions before you come in.

Why Language Fluency Changes the Caregiving Relationship
Technical caregiving skill gets someone through a shift. Shared language is often what gets a client to actually open up — about how they're really feeling, about a symptom they'd otherwise downplay, about wanting to talk rather than be left alone. For Persian families specifically, caregiving is frequently framed as an extension of family duty; a caregiver who understands that context, and can discuss it in Farsi, tends to be folded into that framework faster than one working entirely through translation or gesture.
None of this means Farsi is required to apply — we hire caregivers from every background — but for the clients who specifically request it, it's not a minor preference. It's often the reason the placement works.
Scheduling Options
6, 8, 10 and 12-hour shifts. Day, evening and overnight availability. Live-in placements. Weekday-only or weekend-only schedules if that's what fits your life. Full-time and part-time both open regularly.
Before You Come In
Bring the following so your file can move quickly:
- Government-issued photo ID
- Proof you're authorized to work in the U.S.
- Active NYS HHA or PCA certification, if applicable
- Two written professional references
- A physical exam from within the last 12 months
- MMR documentation
- A clear Quantiferon TB test
- Drug screening results, if you have them on hand
How We Match You to a Case
We don't assign caregivers automatically — someone on our recruiting team reviews your certifications, availability and language fluency in person first. From there, matching considers geography, schedule, experience level, and, when a family has specifically asked for it, Farsi fluency. Because Persian-speaking demand skews toward Great Neck and the surrounding Nassau communities, caregivers based near there or willing to travel there often see faster placement — but openings do come up elsewhere too.
Questions Applicants Actually Ask
Is Farsi fluency required, or just preferred? Preferred, not required. We hire caregivers of all backgrounds; Farsi matters most for the specific families who request it.
Why does Great Neck come up so often? It has one of the largest Persian communities in our service area, so client demand there for Farsi-speaking caregivers tends to be highest and steadiest.
If I speak Farsi, will I always be placed with Persian clients? Not automatically — but where a client specifically requests a Farsi-speaking caregiver, your fluency is a real factor in who gets matched.
Can I apply without home care experience? Yes. Certifications and background are reviewed individually; prior experience helps but isn't a strict requirement.
What if my only certification is expired? Bring your documentation anyway and discuss it with our recruiting team — they can walk you through what's needed to get current.
Do live-in positions actually come up, or is that just marketing language? They come up regularly, tied to specific client needs. Ask what's currently available when you apply.
How is pay determined? Rates are competitive and discussed directly during your interview, since they can vary by case type and schedule.
