What are the responsibilities and job description for the Non-Medical Home Caregiving - Oahu's Most Trusted Home Care Agency for Caregivers and Clients position at FirstLight Home Care of Honolulu?
Let's Picture This...
Imagine a quiet morning in a cozy home, the kind that's filled with the soft hum of memories and the scent of freshly brewed coffee. In this home lives someone special—maybe a grandparent who once chased their kids around the yard, or a neighbor who always had a kind word to share.
Today, they need a little extra care, a warm smile, and a steady hand to help them through their day. That’s where you come in. At FirstLight® Home Care of Honolulu, we’re not just a company, we’re an 'ohana built on trust, heart, and a promise to make every day brighter for those we serve.
We’re on a mission to find extraordinary people like you: someone who doesn’t just see caregiving as a job but as a calling. Someone who wakes up ready to bring compassion, dependability, and a little bit of magic into the lives of others.
Now, you step into that cozy home, greeted by a grateful smile. You chat over breakfast you’ve prepared, maybe swapping stories about the old days or laughing about something small. Later, you help with a bath or a bit of grooming, bringing dignity and care to every moment. The house gets a quick tidy, the laundry’s folded, and maybe you even run an errand or two—simple acts that mean the world. Every day is different, but one thing stays the same: you’re the heartbeat of warmth and independence for someone who cherishes their home.
We know this work isn’t easy! It takes patience, kindness, and a spirit that doesn’t quit. That’s why, when we find someone like you, we don’t just hire you; we cherish you. You’re not just a caregiver—you’re the soul of what we do, and we’re committed to taking care of you the way you take care of others. Whether you’ve been a caregiver before or you’re ready to learn (with our help, of course!), we’re here to support you every step of the way.

- Previous caregiving experience (preferred)
