Help at Home

Looking for meaningful, flexible work that fits into your life?

Join Help at Home, where you can earn extra income and make an impact in your own community. Whether you're between jobs, retired, working part-time, or just looking for a way to give back -- this is a flexible side job that truly matters. We make it easy to start quickly, with paid training, supportive teams, and clients who are grateful for your care.

Why You'll Love Working With Us
  • Consistent Clients & Hours – Build relationships and enjoy reliable schedules
  • Competitive Pay – Earn well doing meaningful work
  • Full Benefits – Health insurance, paid holidays, and paid time off
  • Career Growth – Paid training and certification pathways to grow your skills and income
  • Veteran-Friendly Employer – We welcome veterans, military spouses, and their families
  • Supportive Team Culture – You'll always have someone in your corner
What You'll Do

Every day, you'll make life easier and brighter for the people you serve by helping with:

  • Light housekeeping, laundry, and organization
  • Personal care (dressing, grooming, meal assistance)
  • Running errands, grocery shopping, and accompanying clients to appointments

You'll be someone's reason to smile -- and feel proud knowing your work truly matters.

Eligibility Requirements
  • No experience is required – openings for caregivers (no certification), CNAs, and HHAs
  • HS Diploma or GED OR 1 year of previous experience as a caregiver
  • Valid driver's license
  • Access to insured and reliable transportation
  • Dedication to professional development, including organizational and state-required training
