The selected caregiver must be available to work all three scheduled days Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12:00 PM to 5:30 PM. Consistent attendance is essential because the client depends on a stable routine and familiar caregivers. The client also has a small dog in the home. Applicants must be comfortable entering and working in a home with a small household pet. At Helping Hearts, caregiving is more than a job, it is a calling. We are looking for someone who will treat the client with dignity, patience, compassion, and respect while remaining actively engaged and focused on the client’s safety.
