Full Job Description

We are looking for a special kind of caregiver.

This is not a traditional caregiving position focused solely on personal care or medical needs. While caregiving experience is required, what we're really looking for is someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with people, building relationships, and helping an older adult continue living a full, active, and meaningful life.

Our client is 85 years old and one of the most positive, funny, intelligent, and engaging people you'll ever meet. He is relatively independent, enjoys being active, loves conversation, and thrives when he's out in the world connecting with people and experiences.

We're seeking someone who can provide support where needed, but who also sees themselves as a companion, advocate, and partner in helping him stay engaged with life.

What You'll Do

Assist with medication management and daily routines
Prepare healthy meals and snacks
Light housekeeping + laundry
Accompany him to appointments and outings
Help plan and participate in activities, walks, errands, and local adventures
Encourage physical, mental, and social engagement
Help maintain a safe, organized living environment
Walk and spend time with the family dog
Communicate with family members as needed regarding schedules, observations, and updates

You are someone who:

Has prior caregiving experience with seniors
Is warm, positive, patient, and emotionally intelligent
Enjoys conversation and building genuine relationships
Is proactive and doesn't wait to be told what to do
Looks for opportunities to get out, explore, and create enjoyable experiences
Can balance companionship with appropriate caregiving responsibilities
Loves dogs and is happy to walk them
Has a good sense of humor and enjoys being around people

Requirements

Reliable transportation (preferred)
Ability to prepare simple meals
Comfortable around dogs
Excellent communication skills
Strong references

This role is perfect for someone who believes that great caregiving is about more than meeting basic needs. You enjoy helping people stay connected, active, independent, and engaged in the things that bring them joy.If you're the type of person who thinks, "Let's go for a walk," "Let's grab a coffee," or "Let's check out something interesting today," we'd love to hear from you.

About Him

He's 85 years young, sharp, funny, curious, optimistic, and genuinely enjoys life. He doesn't need someone to sit and watch over him all day. He needs someone who will help him continue making the most of every day.

Pay: From $25.00 per hour

Benefits:

Mileage reimbursement
Paid training

Work Location: In person
