Calling all Night Owl Caregivers

Do you love staying up late and are looking to make a new friend? There’s a wonderful person who might be just the buddy you need! They're into movies, music, and books, so it would be so much fun to hang out and enjoy those together! Since they have brittle diabetes, it’s super important to have some tasty snacks on hand for them. Your friendship could really make a difference for them!

Community Horizons is passionately supporting the search for a private caregiver to join a loving in-home care team. In this fulfilling role, you will provide vital support and hands-on assistance with personal care and housekeeping tasks. Your efforts will play a crucial role in helping this community member maintain their cherished independence at home.

This position is part of the self-direction program, which means you'll work directly for the individuals who need your support. This arrangement not only offers greater flexibility and control over your schedule but also fosters a more personal and meaningful working relationship, as the member will hire you directly, bypassing the agency.
