About The Position

Make a Meaningful Difference Every Day—one home, one meal, one conversation at a time as a Homemaker with the Visiting Nurse Association.
Do you enjoy helping others live comfortably, safely, and independently in their own homes?
Would you thrive in a role where your kindness, conversation, light housekeeping, and meal preparation truly enhance someone’s quality of life? If so, we’d love to meet you.

The Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) is seeking a compassionate Homemaker to support clients by creating a clean, safe, and welcoming home environment. In this role, your personal connection with clients is just as important as the household tasks you complete.

A great listener and communicator who can connect with people from all walks of life
Honest, kind, and dependable, with a naturally friendly demeanor
