About The Position

McKenney Home Care is seeking dependable caregivers, HHAs, and CNAs for private-duty overnight care in clients’ homes throughout Lee and Collier County. The family-owned agency provides individualized, one-on-one care through its Bonita Springs office. Assignments are typically awake 12-hour shifts, approximately 8:00 PM–8:00 AM. Caregivers must remain awake, alert, and available to the client throughout the shift, and must arrive rested. Caregivers cannot work another job or daytime shift on days scheduled for an awake overnight assignment. Opportunities may include weeknight or weekend shifts, recurring assignments, and consistent assignments when available; schedules depend on client needs, caregiver availability, experience, and location, and hours are not guaranteed. Caregivers work independently in private homes and follow individualized care plans. McKenney Home Care offers one-on-one private-duty care, thoughtful matching based on experience, availability, location, and comfort level, and 24/7 office and nursing support. HHA certification, Florida CNA licensure, or previous professional caregiving experience is welcomed but is not required for every opportunity. Selected applicants will be guided through any remaining onboarding requirements.
