Looking for meaningful, consistent part-time work that fits into your weekday schedule?
At Full Bloom Memory Care®, we're hiring compassionate, engaging, and dependable Memory Care Partners for part-time weekday schedules in the Evanston area.
This is a caregiver position with a unique focus on companionship, engagement, and activity-based dementia care. While you'll provide supportive caregiving as needed, much of your time will be spent helping clients stay active, engaged, and connected through meaningful activities, conversation, walks, outings, and person-centered experiences.
These part-time opportunities are especially well suited for someone who wants steady, meaningful work of approximately 20 hours per week rather than a traditional 40+ hour caregiving schedule.
Current availability needed:
Monday–Friday
Daytime hours between 7:00 AM–1:00 PM
Consistent 4–6 hour shifts
Approximately 20 hours per week
Evanston and surrounding area
If your favorite part of working with older adults is building relationships, sharing conversation, staying active, and helping someone genuinely enjoy their day, we'd love to meet you.
Full Bloom Memory Care® is dedicated exclusively to supporting older adults living with dementia and memory loss through compassionate, relationship-centered care.
Our philosophy is simple: people living with dementia deserve more than assistance-they deserve meaningful days filled with purpose, connection, dignity, and joy.
That's why our Memory Care Partners do more than complete tasks. We build relationships, create experiences, encourage independence, and help each client remain engaged in the things that matter most to them.
Every day is different because every client is different.
As a Memory Care Partner, you'll combine companionship, meaningful engagement, and supportive caregiving tailored to each client's personality, interests, and abilities.
A typical shift might include:
Sharing coffee and conversation
Going for a neighborhood walk
Playing games, cards, or doing puzzles
Listening to favorite music
Baking, gardening, or doing crafts together
Visiting a senior center, park, or favorite local spot
Encouraging independence with daily routines
Providing supportive caregiving and personal care as needed
Building a genuine relationship through companionship and conversation
We believe meaningful engagement is just as important as the care we provide.
You don't need to be someone looking for a traditional full-time caregiving schedule to make an incredible Memory Care Partner.
We're especially interested in people who are looking for consistent, purposeful part-time work and naturally enjoy connecting with others.
You may be a great fit if you:
Genuinely enjoy spending time with older adults
Are warm, conversational, and engaging
Know how to make someone feel comfortable and included
Enjoy walks, games, music, outings, crafts, cooking, or other activities
Are patient and able to adapt when plans change
Naturally encourage independence
Are dependable and value having a consistent weekly schedule
Want meaningful work without needing 40–60 hours per week
We welcome applicants from both traditional and non-traditional backgrounds.
Your experience might come from:
Caregiving or senior living
Memory care
Education or childcare
Social work or psychology
Behavioral health
Recreation or activity programs
Human services
Community or volunteer programs
Youth programs
Hospitality
Theater, music, or the creative arts
Caring for an older family member
For these positions, we're looking beyond a resume. Warmth, reliability, patience, creativity, and the ability to genuinely connect with another person matter tremendously.
Many caregiving jobs are designed for caregivers seeking long shifts and 40+ hours every week.
This opportunity isn't.
We're intentionally building a team of Memory Care Partners who want shorter, consistent weekday shifts and meaningful one-on-one relationships with clients.
This could be a great fit if you're looking for approximately 20 hours per week during daytime hours and want your work to have a real purpose.
Build meaningful relationships with clients and families
Provide companionship and emotional support
Create engaging experiences based on each client's interests
Encourage movement, walking, and healthy routines
Lead cognitive, recreational, and enrichment activities
Accompany clients on community outings
Encourage independence with everyday activities
Provide compassionate caregiving and personal care as needed
Communicate with Full Bloom's dementia care team to ensure excellent continuity of care
Unlike traditional home care agencies, Full Bloom specializes exclusively in dementia care.
We'll provide specialized training to help you better understand dementia, communicate effectively, respond compassionately, and create meaningful experiences for the people you support.
You'll never be expected to simply "sit" with a client. You'll be encouraged to engage, connect, and make your time together meaningful.

Maybe you're not looking for a traditional 40-hour workweek.
Maybe you're looking for consistent weekday hours, meaningful relationships, and work you can genuinely feel good about.
At Full Bloom Memory Care®, a four-hour shift isn't "just a short shift."
It's a walk around the neighborhood. A favorite song. A trip for coffee. A good conversation. A familiar routine. A laugh. And a few hours when someone living with memory loss feels connected, confident, and genuinely engaged.
That's what caregiving looks like at Full Bloom.
If that sounds like the kind of part-time work you've been looking for, we'd love to meet you.
Apply today and discover why caregiving at Full Bloom is different.
