Why you might love this job:
Caregiving is the job for you if you want to make a real difference in people’s lives during a difficult time. You build relationships with seniors and their families as you work in their private home. Over time, you’ll learn what your senior likes best. As you share stories with each other you gain a trusted friend, and they can enjoy life safely at home.
You will be responsible for the health, safety, and happiness of your client, which is a big deal!
What a regular day looks like:
Depending on your client’s specific condition, you might feed, and dress them. But you’ll learn your senior’s preferences and quirks and get to know them as family. Your day might include taking them on activities and driving them to doctors’ appointments, go grocery shopping or run errands. You will be the first person to notice any changes in condition and call your management team – who’s always ready to support you.
