We are seeking caregivers to work in a variety of shifts throughout the Seattle and Bellevue area, including as far North as Edmonds and as far South as Kent (the bulk of our clients are in Seattle, esp North and West Seattle), for part time shifts. These would typically be 4 hours or less, however, interested caregivers could take on multiple shifts per day or take on a mix of full time (eight hours or longer) and part time (four hours or less) to have a full time schedule. Note: Shifts longer than 4 hours would be paid at our normal pay range of $20.00 to $22.00 per hour. Most shifts are starting no earlier than 9am and no later than 4pm. These would generally be regular, ongoing shifts, although fill in shifts would also be available.
Care typically is oriented to lower acuity clients, whose needs will range from companionship, running errands, household assistance and other tasks. Some clients will need personal care as well. The ideal candidate will be engaging, flexible, and genuinely enjoy working with the elderly.
Reliable personal transportation is huge plus, especially if interested in working multiple shifts!!
