Job Description

Caregiver / Home Health Aide (Care Professional)
Home Instead Crystal Lake, IL

Some jobs you clock into. This one, you show up for.

Somewhere in Crystal Lake, there's a retired teacher who still wants to finish her crossword every morning. A Navy veteran who tells the same three stories and laughs harder every time. A dad who would rather stay in the house he built than move anywhere else.

They don't need a hospital. They need a person. Someone steady, kind, and dependable who can help with the everyday things so they can keep living life on their own terms.

That's the job. And it matters more than most.

What You'll Get

• $18 to $22 per hour , based on experience and shift
• Schedules that work around your life. Full-time, part-time, days, evenings, or weekends. Tell us what you need.
• Paid training from day one. No experience? We'll teach you. Experienced? We'll respect what you already know.
• Clients close to home. We match you by location so you're not driving across McHenry County between shifts.
• A team that answers the phone. Office staff and 24/7 on-call support who actually pick up.
• Room to grow. Specialized training in Alzheimer's and dementia care, mentor roles, and a path into the office if that's where you're headed.
• Mileage reimbursement referral bonus, 401(k), PTO, health benefits, dental and vision, and paid training.

What You'll Do

• Help with everyday tasks: meals, light housekeeping, errands, medication reminders
• Provide companionship and a familiar face
• Assist with personal care like bathing, dressing, and mobility when needed
• Notice the small things and keep the family and our office in the loop

Who We're Looking For

• 18 or older with a valid driver's license, reliable vehicle, and auto insurance
• Able to pass a background check and drug screen
• Reliable. If you say you'll be there, you're there.
• Patient, warm, and comfortable being someone's calm in the room
• CNA or prior caregiving experience is a plus, not a requirement
