About the Internship

CareYaya Health Technologies connects families with vetted pre-health college students who provide affordable, home-based care for seniors living with conditions like Alzheimer's and dementia, as well as children with disabilities and complex medical needs. Backed by the American Heart Association, AARP, and the National Institutes of Health, and built in partnership with Johns Hopkins and Duke, we're one of the fastest-growing health-tech startups in America.

This internship puts you at the center of care operations across two of the country's most underserved populations: elderly adults and medically vulnerable children. You'll take on real responsibility in care coordination, family engagement, and clinical program support, helping shape how CareYaya delivers care to the people who need it most.

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate care delivery workflows across pediatric and geriatric patient populations, gaining firsthand exposure to managing care for different age groups with distinct clinical needs
• Support caregiver onboarding, scheduling, and quality assurance for families of elderly adults and children with special needs
• Help develop care protocols that account for population-specific considerations, from dementia-related behavioral support to developmental milestones in pediatric care
• Analyze care utilization data and family feedback to identify service gaps and inform program design
• Collaborate with clinical advisors, health systems, and community organizations to strengthen referral pathways and expand access to underserved families

What You'll Gain

You'll build skills in care coordination, health services management, stakeholder communication, and data-driven decision-making within a fast-moving startup where your contributions have immediate, visible impact. This role is especially valuable for students pursuing healthcare administration, public health, health policy, nursing leadership, or anyone drawn to building better systems of care across the lifespan.

Who Should Apply

Ideal candidates bring strong organizational skills, clear communication, and genuine curiosity about how healthcare delivery works. Coursework or experience in healthcare, public health, gerontology, child development, or disability services is a plus; what matters most is a willingness to learn and a real commitment to improving care for vulnerable populations.
