Home Care Caregiver (Yes, the Kind That Actually Shows Up)

Sunlight Senior Care

Home Care Provider

We're a home care agency that takes seriously the idea that people deserve to age with dignity, laughter, and someone who genuinely gives a damn. We're not a faceless staffing warehouse. We're a team that knows our clients by name, knows their stories, and shows up literally when it matters most.

Help real humans with real lives. That means assisting with personal care (bathing, dressing, grooming), preparing meals, light housekeeping, medication reminders, and maybe most importantly being someone worth talking to. Sometimes the best thing you'll do all day is sit with someone and actually listen.

We Need Someone Who:
  • Shows up. On time. Every time. (We know life happens but chronically "forgetting" shifts is a hard no.)
  • Has a warm heart and steady hands
  • Treats every client like they're your favorite grandparent because to someone, they are
  • Can handle the unexpected without melting down
  • Is professional enough to represent Sunlight but real enough to laugh at a bad joke

What We Offer:

  • Competitive pay
  • Flexible scheduling (full-time and part-time available)
  • A team that actually has your back
  • The kind of work that matters at the end of the day

Requirements:

  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
  • Ability to pass a background check
  • CPR/First Aid certification (or willingness to get it)
  • A genuine desire to help people not just a box to check on an application

This job is not glamorous. It is, however, meaningful in ways most jobs will never be. If that speaks to you, we want to hear from you.
