Seeking caregivers to assist with my Husband, Tom's care.

He needs help with daily cares, exercise routines, and therapy.

Ideal candidates are self-motivated, kind, reliable, responsible, and willing to be part of a larger caregiving team. A good sense of humor, patience, and a positive attitude are a must.

We are currently seeking coverage from Monday to Sunday evenings, with a preference for at least 3 shifts per week. Additional hours may be available for afternoons or longer shifts if interested.
