Live In Caregiver

Job Description Job Description Care Home Lead | LPN / CNA / Nurse Aide — Aiea, HI Full-Time | 12-Hour Shifts - Family-Owned • Nurse-Owned • Low-stress Environment
WHO WE ARE
Kaamilo Hale is a licensed 8-resident adult residential care home in Aiea, owned and operated by a registered nurse. We are not a corporate facility. We are a small, calm, home-like environment where residents are known by name, care is personalized, and staff are treated like ʻohana.
We’re looking for a Care Home Lead — someone who can run the floor, guide caregivers, and hold the standard. This is not a task-follower role. This is a leadership position for someone who takes ownership.
THE ROLE
Oversee and guide caregivers on shift — delegate, support, and hold the standard

Provide direct ADL care and medication support within your scope of practice

Monitor residents and report changes in condition to the nurse-owner

Maintain accurate documentation and care records

Communicate professionally with families, visiting providers, and support agencies

Ensure safety, routine, and home standards are met every shift

Work closely with the nurse-owner on overall care, staffing, and resident wellbeing

Once routines are complete, shifts are often calm — this is not a high-chaos environment

REQUIREMENTS
One of the following credentials:
Active/current CNA license, OR

Active/current LPN license, OR

Nurse Aide (NA) with documented proof of 6+ months experience in a licensed facility (not a care home or foster home) — we can assist with documentation retrieval

ARCH operator education certificate is a significant bonus

You must also be:
A natural leader who guides others without being asked

Highly organized and able to stay on task independently

Fully committed to your assigned schedule — reliability is non-negotiable

Experienced in a care home, assisted living, or LTC setting (required)

A critical thinker who makes sound decisions without constant direction

Looking for long-term stability, not a short-term placement

COMPENSATION
Nursing facilities pay similarly but assign 18–30 patients. Here you have 8 residents, a nurse-owner as your direct support, and a managerial role with real autonomy. The work is comparable — the environment is not.
Pay based on credential, experience, and availability:
LPN: $28–$33/hr | Total compensation est. ~$31–$38/hr
CNA Lead: $21–$25/hr | Total compensation est. ~$26–$30/hr
NA Lead: $19–$22/hr | Total compensation est. ~$24–$28/hr
Total compensation estimate includes 100% employer-paid health insurance, life insurance, IRA match, TDI, meals, and PTO. Performance and compensation review at 90 days.
BENEFITS
All Employees:
lunch Meals available on every shift — no clocking out for lunch

Performance bonuses, employee referral bonuses, and resident referral bonuses

Annual performance bonus

Free CNA recertification and CEUs to maintain Hawaii state CNA certification (eligibility based on tenure and performance)

Direct support from a nurse-owner — you are never alone on a clinical call

Full-Time Employees:
Health Insurance — 100% employer-paid premium

Employer-paid Life Insurance — up to $30,000 coverage

IRA Retirement Plan — employer match up to 3% of salary (eligible after 12 months)

PTO — earned after 12 months of employment

Hawaii TDI — 100% employer-paid

PRE-EMPLOYMENT REQUIREMENTS
We will help you complete all required paperwork before your start date.
Fingerprint background check

2-step TB test (if not previously completed) and current TB within the past year; annual TB required thereafter

Medical release form (provided by employer)

Verification of credentials — active license, certificate, or documented facility experience (we can help obtain documentation)

We’re not looking for someone to fill a slot. We’re looking for someone to lead a home.
