What are the responsibilities and job description for the CAREGIVER Opportunity: 12-hour shift on SATURDAYS position at Close To Home Caregivers - Sarasota, FL?
We are currently seeking a Caregiver to provide assistance to an elderly woman with dementia on SATURDAYS from 8:00AM to 8:00PM. She lives in a memory unit in south Sarasota. She needs companionship and guidance that the facility is not staffed to provide.

Responsibilities:
- Monitoring the client’s condition while providing companionship.
- Accompanying her to meals and encouraging her to eat.
- Assisting her with toileting – helping to change her and cleaning her as needed.
- Walking with her within the facility, something she enjoys.
- Writing shift notes describing the events of each shift.
Requirements:
- Prior experience in caregiving preferred but not required; training will be provided.
- Compassionate and patient demeanor.
- Ability to communicate effectively with the client and her family.
- Valid Florida driver's license and a reliable vehicle (with current registration and insurance).
- A “Level II” background clearance.
- A lack of any felony convictions.
Close to Home Caregivers is a caregiving agency run by caregivers. So, we make every effort to find a good fit for our caregivers. If our caregivers are happy, our clients are going to be happy.
