Who Makes a Great Caregiver?

              Are you (or someone you know) looking for employment? Home care offers a wide variety of employment opportunities and benefits to those who work in the field. But what does it take to work in this area of health care? And is it the right employment option for you? Short answer: yes.

We see employees from all different stages in their lives. Each have particular reasons this path works for them. The flexibility in this position makes it one that could work in almost any schedule, but there are three types of employees we typically see:

College Students

Caregiving is a great career choice for college students going through school. The home care industry offers flexible hours around any class schedule, competitive pay, and an overall rewarding experience. Nursing, pre-med, and other health care focused majors are able to work in a health care setting to provide them an experience that will help them in their future endeavors after graduation. Non-Health Care majors also benefit from learning the skill of helping and interacting with others in need. College students make great employees who are hardworking, organized, always wanting to learn and help in any way possible.

Career Caregivers

These direct care professionals have dedicated their lives to providing care to individuals. Many of them have been doing this for 10+ years and their skills and ability to pick up on any situation and provide excellent quality care are unmatched. Years of working in facilities and home environments have taught this specific group of caregivers everything they need to know to thrive during any situation thrown their way.

Retirees/Second Job Seekers

Another type of caregiver we often see are those who have already found a career path. Often these are people who have been in their careers for an extended amount of time or those who are retired and looking for a job that will fulfill their calling to help others in need. The flexible hours make it easy to schedule around other jobs or life events. These caregivers are often great with companionship and are constantly looking for ways to make a meaningful impact.
