After 1-2 months of successful performance, Lead Caregivers may become eligible for guaranteed weekly hours (20-32 hours per week) in place of the weekly standby stipend. Guaranteed hours are based on performance, reliability, leadership abilities, and overall job proficiency.

• Ability to manage multiple responsibilities in both field and office settings
• Flexible availability, including on‑call, nights, and weekends
