Job description

Are you looking for a job with a sense of purpose? At Seniors Helping Seniors®, we believe those with a lifetime of experience are uniquely qualified to care for others. We are a home care agency with a heart-centered mission: matching active, mature caregivers with seniors who need a little extra support to stay independent in their own homes.

The Best of Both Worlds Our organization was founded by Kiran Yocom, whose mission was inspired by her personal work alongside Mother Teresa to provide loving care and a "way to give and a way to receive". While we have over 20 years of experience and a nationwide reputation for excellence, we are currently expanding in the area (Naperville, Wheaton, Lisle, Warrenville, Glen Elly, Winfield).

This is a unique opportunity to benefit from our established history and expertise while making a significant impact in new communities. By joining us now, you will receive personalized support and help us build a local culture that feels like a family.

What You’ll Do

This role is about building a meaningful peer-to-peer relationship. Your "work" day may include:

• Heartfelt Companionship: Providing social interaction, emotional support, and a friendly smile.
• Daily Living Assistance: Light housekeeping (laundry, dishes), meal preparation, shopping, and errands.
• Personal Care with Dignity: Providing medication reminders and assistance with dressing, bathing, and mobility.
• Specialized Support: Providing memory, Dementia, and Alzheimer’s care, as well as recovery support following hospital stays.
• Around the House: Assisting with pet care, light yard work, or small handyman tasks.
• Transportation: Providing rides to doctor’s appointments, family visits, or favorite local restaurants.

What We Offer

• Flexible Schedules: We work around your life with no minimum hours required—perfect for those who are retired or semi-retired.
• Competitive Pay: Starting at $18.00 - $20.00 per hour (based on experience) with mileage reimbursement for client transportation.
• Meaningful Work: Our turnover rate is minimal because we treat our caregivers as respected peers and empower them to find joy in their work.
• Foundational Support: We provide comprehensive training, tools, and direct access to the owners to ensure you feel prepared and valued.

Who You Are

• While we seek and value caregiving experience, we highly value life experience and a caring heart.
• You are a dependable, patient, and empathetic individual.
• You have a genuine desire to stay active and help others in your community age with dignity.
• You have a high school diploma/GED and reliable transportation.
• You are willing to undergo background and DMV checks to ensure the safety of our seniors.
