Become a Caregiver​

Do Work That Matters. Service With Purpose.

​

At Gentle Hearts Home Care, caregiving is more than completing a list of tasks. It is helping someone begin the morning with dignity, giving an exhausted parent time to breathe, preparing a familiar meal, offering steady encouragement, or simply sitting beside someone who should not have to feel alone.

​

Our caregivers support children and adolescents with disabilities, adults with support needs, older adults, and families who need dependable help at home. Every client is different, so every assignment is shaped by the individual’s abilities, routines, preferences, goals, and approved care needs.

​

Our purpose is simple: support independence—not replace it.

About the Caregiver Role

​

As a Gentle Hearts caregiver, you will provide compassionate, person-centered assistance in the client’s home or another approved setting. Depending on the assignment and care arrangement, your responsibilities may include:

​

• Assisting with bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, and personal hygiene

• Supporting morning, evening, mealtime, and other daily routines

• Helping with mobility, walking, or wheelchair use

• Preparing simple meals and snacks

• Providing meal setup or approved eating assistance

• Offering companionship, conversation, reading, games, crafts, and recreation

• Providing respite so family caregivers can rest, work, attend appointments, or care for other responsibilities

• Completing light housekeeping related to the client’s care

• Washing the client’s laundry and changing bed linens

• Providing reminders, prompting, encouragement, and calm redirection

• Supporting approved errands, appointments, or community activities

• Encouraging clients to make choices and participate in tasks they can safely complete

• Following the client’s authorized plan of care or service agreement

• Documenting services and communicating concerns appropriately

• Protecting each client’s dignity, privacy, safety, and personal boundaries

​

Responsibilities vary by client. Caregivers are expected to perform only the duties assigned and approved for their specific placement.

Who We’re Looking For

​

The right caregiver is not defined by one résumé or one career path. Our caregivers may come from healthcare, disability support, childcare, education, psychology, senior care, hospitality, nonprofit work, family caregiving, or other service-centered backgrounds.

What matters most is how you care for people.

A Gentle Hearts caregiver should be:

• Compassionate and respectful

• Dependable and punctual

• Patient and emotionally steady

• Comfortable assisting with personal and sometimes unglamorous care needs

• Able to listen without judgment

• Attentive to changes in a client’s needs or behavior

• Respectful of different abilities, cultures, routines, homes, and family structures

• Able to maintain professional boundaries and confidentiality

• Willing to follow instructions, agency policies, and individualized care plans

• Comfortable communicating with clients, families, supervisors, and other approved members of the care team

• Committed to helping clients retain choice, dignity, and independence

• Willing to complete any screening, orientation, or training required for an assignment

• ​

Specific experience, credentials, physical requirements, transportation requirements, and scheduling expectations may vary by assignment.

The Heart of This Work

​

Caregiving is not always easy or glamorous. Some days are joyful and active. Others require patience, flexibility, and quiet strength. The smallest actions—a clean shirt, a favorite story, a safely completed routine, a moment of relief for a tired family—can carry enormous meaning.

​

We are looking for people who see the person before the diagnosis, disability, age, or task.

​

If you believe care should be rooted in love, service, compassion, dignity, and respect, we invite you to apply.​
