Job description

Part‑Time Home Support Caregiver – Winooski and South Burlington

Hands at Home Care Services is seeking a dependable caregiver to provide recurring household and companionship support for two individuals in the Winooski and South Burlington area.

These are short, daytime visits for clients who value their independence but need reliable help keeping their homes clean, comfortable, and manageable. This opportunity is especially well suited for someone who enjoys one‑on‑one interaction, takes pride in completing household tasks thoroughly, and is interested in building consistent relationships with the people they support.

Current Recurring Schedule

• Every other Monday from 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM
• Every Friday from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM

• Laundry, including handling laundry bags and putting clean items away
• Vacuuming, mopping, dusting, and general household cleaning
• Washing dishes and tidying the kitchen
• Organizing frequently used household items

• Friendly conversation, companionship, and social engagement
• Transportation or local errands when included in the individual care plan

• Maintains appropriate professional boundaries
• Communicates promptly with clients and the office team

Position Requirements

• Valid driver’s license
• Reliable transportation
• Smartphone with access to mobile applications
• Ability to complete light household tasks, including laundry, vacuuming, and mopping
• Strong attendance and communication
• Compassionate and person‑centered approach
