CareGiver - Weekend Shifts
Buffalo, NY
Care and compassion are at the heart of what we do and at Home Instead, caring is our passion. And it starts with our Care Professionals! When you join our team, you will be working for the company who first introduced senior home care to the world and is the world’s largest home care provider.
Weekend shifts may be perfect if you have a full-time job and are only available on the weekends. You might have school-aged children who are involved in sports and other activities. You may even be a caregiver for a family member that needs your help. Perhaps you are a college student with changing semester schedules or internships.
Why Choose Home Instead?
You can engage in meaningful work where your comfort and care make a difference and your compassion brings joy and support to those who need it most. You will be doing basic tasks for people who may struggle or can no longer do these everyday chores. Your help provides relief and reassurance for our client’s families. Your work truly makes a difference and may be the only reason our clients get to stay in their home.
Who makes a successful senior caregiver? Are you friendly, a good listener, helpful, reliable and have a can-do attitude? Would you like to join in activities & conversation to keep our clients engaged? Do you want to create a positive environment to enhance the quality of life for our clients? If you want to end your day with your client happier than when you started, you may be the perfect caregiver for Home Instead!
