Looking for overnight caregiving work where you can focus on one client at a time? McKenney Home Care is seeking dependable Caregivers, HHAs, and CNAs for private-duty overnight opportunities in clients’ homes throughout Sarasota and Charlotte County.

McKenney Home Care is a family-owned private-duty home care agency providing individualized one-on-one care through our Venice office.

About the Overnight Schedule
Overnight assignments are typically 12-hour shifts from approximately 8:00 PM–8:00 AM.

These are awake overnight shifts. Caregivers are required to remain awake, alert, and available to the client throughout the entire 12-hour shift.

For client and caregiver safety, overnight caregivers must be able to arrive rested and may not work another job or daytime shift on days they are scheduled to work an awake overnight assignment.

Opportunities may include:

• Weeknight overnight shifts
• Weekend overnight shifts
• Recurring overnight assignments
• Consistent assignments when available

Schedules vary based on current client needs, caregiver availability, experience, and location. Hours cannot be guaranteed.

What You’ll Do

• Remain awake, alert, and attentive throughout the full overnight shift
• Assist with toileting, personal care, mobility, and other activities of daily living
• Provide fall-prevention and safety support throughout the night
• Offer reassurance, companionship, and redirection when needed
• Assist with repositioning and nighttime routines according to the care plan
• Prepare light meals or snacks and encourage hydration as appropriate
• Provide medication reminders as permitted by the care plan
• Observe and report changes in condition, behavior, or sleep patterns
• Complete required documentation using the WellSky app
• Follow individualized care plans and communicate concerns to the office team

What You’ll Need to Complete Onboarding 

• Ability and willingness to remain awake for the entire 12-hour overnight shift
• Ability to maintain a schedule that allows you to arrive rested and alert; caregivers working another daytime job on scheduled overnight days cannot be assigned to these shifts
• Strong communication, observation, and reliability
• Comfort working independently in a private home setting
• Valid driver’s license
• Current auto insurance with you listed as an allowed driver
• Reliable transportation
• Hands-on CPR certification — online-only CPR is not accepted
• TB screening within the required timeframe or qualifying chest X-ray
• Level 2 AHCA background screening:
• Dependable attendance and professional conduct

HHA certification, Florida CNA licensure, or previous professional caregiving experience is welcomed but not required for every opportunity.

Don’t have everything yet? You don’t need to have all healthcare credentials completed before interviewing. If you’re selected to move forward, we’ll explain what is still needed and guide you through the remaining onboarding requirements.
