CAREGIVER Opportunity: 12-hour shift on SATURDAYS
Part Time • Sarasota-Bradenton
We are currently seeking a Caregiver to provide assistance to an elderly woman with dementia on SATURDAYS from 8:00AM to 8:00PM. She lives in a memory unit in south Sarasota. She needs companionship and guidance that the facility is not staffed to provide. She’s a pleasant person but the effects of dementia mean that she can be moody and in need of persistent coaxing (to eat, to go for a walk, to use the bathroom, etc.).
Responsibilities:
- Monitoring the client’s condition while providing companionship.
- Accompanying her to meals and encouraging her to eat.
- Assisting her with toileting – helping to change her and cleaning her as needed.
- Walking with her within the facility, something she enjoys.
- Writing shift notes describing the events of each shift.
Requirements:
- Prior experience in caregiving preferred but not required; training will be provided.
- Compassionate and patient demeanor.
- Ability to communicate effectively with the client and her family.
- Valid Florida driver's license and a reliable vehicle (with current registration and insurance).
- A “Level II” background clearance.
- A lack of any felony convictions.
Close to Home Caregivers is a caregiving agency run by caregivers. So, we make every effort to find a good fit for our caregivers. If our caregivers are happy, our clients are going to be happy.

Compensation: $19.00 per hour
We are a company run by caregivers not business managers. Our mission is to provide superior care and safety for our clients ... but also to retain our caregivers by keeping their needs and preferences uppermost in our scheduling. We try to find shifts that match their preferences, and clients that fit their skills and comfort level. In hiring, we look for caregivers who are compassionate, well-trained, reliable and vigilant. If you are new to caregiving but are empathetic and responsible, and you enjoy helping others, we will train you.
Professional caregivers go by many names: homemakers, home care aides, home health aides, certified nursing assistants, personal care assistants, direct care workers. No matter the name, what we all have in common is a calling to care for people in the comfort of their own homes or assisted-living facilities.
This agency is independently owned and operated. Your application will go directly to the agency, and all hiring decisions will be made by the management of this agency. All inquiries about employment at this agency should be made directly to the agency location, and not to Home Care Evolution Corporate.
