About The Position

Join Our Team of Compassionate Caregivers & CNAs Application Note: This role is tied to a specific client. We are seeking a compassionate, patient caregiver to provide respite support for an 87-year-old female client living in a private, accessibility-modified home in the N Mesa area with her two family members and three dogs. We are seeking a caregiver who can cover Tuesday 12:30-5:30pm, Thursday 11:30am-9:30pm & Saturday 7am-12pm. While this role is beginning as 20 hours per week, we expect it to grow to full time once trust and rapport is established with the client and family. Care Needs The client uses a wheelchair and requires assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), including transfers with verbal step-by-step cueing. She has a progressive neurological condition resulting in cognitive and mobility decline; total care is anticipated over time. The home is well-equipped with widened doorways, grab bars, and a walk-in shower designed for safe wheelchair transfers. More Than Basic Care This client is a lifelong artist. The home includes a dedicated creative space, and art projects and crafts are a genuine source of joy and engagement for her. We are not looking for someone who simply completes tasks — we are looking for someone who will sit with her, create with her, and treat that time as equally important as any physical care task. If you bring creativity, curiosity, or simply a willingness to be present in that space with her, you will thrive here. Ideal Candidate Experience with wheelchair transfers and ADL support Comfortable working with clients experiencing cognitive decline and memory impairment Patient, warm, and attentive to both physical and emotional needs Genuinely enjoys engaging clients in meaningful activities, not just completing a task list Reliable and consistent — the client and family thrive with familiar, trustworthy caregivers This is a meaningful role supporting a vibrant, kind woman and a devoted family. If you bring calm energy, genuine compassion, and the belief that quality care includes quality moments — we'd love to connect.
