Caregiver AM SHIFT 6 AM-2:30 PM

Fair Oaks Estates • Carmichael, CA

2d • Onsite

About The Position

Fair Oaks Estates is hiring a full-time morning Caregiver in Carmichael. Mornings set the tone for the whole day. You’ll be the first friendly face our residents see, helping them start the day feeling clean, fed, comfortable, and treated like the adult they are. This is the busiest shift we run. Showers, dressing, and breakfast all land in the same few hours, and appointments start stacking up mid-morning. If you like being genuinely useful and you’d rather the time fly by than crawl, this is your shift. To be clear about scope: medications at Fair Oaks Estates are handled by our Med Techs, not by caregivers. Your job is direct resident care.
