About The Position

Mom's Home Care is hiring a caregiver for an active, independent woman in her 80s who is in the early stages of memory loss. The client has a busy social calendar that includes outings with friends, physical therapy, and doctors' appointments, and prefers to remain in charge of her day. The caregiver should help her stay on schedule without taking over, and remain patient and calm when she pushes back. The role is based in the Brentwood area of West Los Angeles and is described as an eight-hour weekday day position, Monday through Friday. The caregiver will drive the client to appointments and activities, provide light housekeeping and meal preparation, and walk and care for her small, friendly dog. The family relies on daily updates, so the caregiver must use WhatsApp to follow the client's posted calendar and report on appointments and activities. This is a W-2 agency position. More broadly, caregivers at Mom's Home Care provide compassionate support with daily activities so senior clients can remain in their homes. The agency describes offering 24/7 supervisor support, ongoing training, feedback, and caregiver appreciation bonuses and other surprises throughout the year.
