Respite Caregiver

One 20-minute in-person interview at our office, then your paperwork, Orientation Video Call and paid orientation and training, all from home on your phone or computer.

A very sweet family in Mount Vernon is looking for a caregiver to spend 8 hours a week with their loved one, a warm and lovely woman, so they can get a well-earned break.

Your time together would be simple and meaningful: good company and conversation, making lunch, and keeping the house tidy. There is no personal care in this role.

The schedule is 8 hours a week: either one 8-hour day on Mondays, or 4 hours on Mondays and 4 hours on Wednesdays. We will settle it with you and the family.

This is W-2 employment with Caring Companions, not contract work. You are paid weekly, and you complete paid orientation and training from home before you start. If you are patient, kind and reliable, and you would enjoy being the bright spot in someone's week, we would love to hear from you.
