About This Opportunity

We are a professional, relationship-driven home care provider serving families throughout the Birmingham Metro area. We deliver personalized, one‑on‑one, non‑medical care that allows clients to remain safely and confidently in their homes. Our caregivers are carefully selected professionals who understand that this is more than a job — it is a responsibility. If you take pride in reliability, professionalism, and compassionate service, we invite you to apply.

• Meal preparation and nutritional support.
• Light housekeeping directly related to client care.
• Transportation to appointments or errands (as needed).
• Accurate documentation and proactive communication with the care team.
• Observing and reporting changes in condition.

This is non-medical private duty care. No skilled nursing or clinical procedures are required unless separately licensed and authorized. One of the clients may need assistance with her nephrostomy tubes.

• We are not a gig‑based app — consistency and accountability are required.
• We are not a “sit and supervise” role — engagement and attentiveness matter.
• We are not a medical staffing agency — this position focuses on personal care and companionship.
• We are not seeking short-term availability only.

Qualifications

• 18+ with high school diploma/GED or relevant experience.
• Prior caregiver, CNA, HHA, PCA, DSP, or senior care experience preferred.
