We are offering an opportunity to work many hours (probably full-time and maybe some Overtime) in the greater Seattle and Puget Sound area. The minimum requirement is to have an HCA (Home Care Aide) certification and Washington state gives you a grace period of 120 days to work while you’re pursuing your certification. It is highly desired for you to have a CNA and we will pay you $1 more per hour if you earn your CNA.

Specific Tasks and Responsibilities
You will be visiting our Clients in their homes to care for them. They may require anything from simple companionship to running some errands with them to light housework to acts of daily living (ADLs) which could include assistance getting them in and out of bed, helping them get dressed, bathed, toileted or fed. Most of our Clients are recovering from a fall or surgery and need a helping hand on their road to recovery.
