Night Caregiver

Now Hiring:
Male Caregiver (Overnight) | Dementia/Alzheimer's Experience Preferred

Helping Hearts USA LLC is seeking a professional, well-groomed, educated, and experienced male caregiver to support a client overnight. This role is ideal for someone with strong memory care instincts who can provide calm structure, safety supervision, personal care, and companionship while maintaining the client's dignity and comfort.

The right caregiver will be steady, patient, and confident supporting dementia/Alzheimer's-related needs such as confusion, nighttime restlessness, anxiety, and sun downing. The client responds positively to music, so candidates who can incorporate music appropriately to promote calm and connection are strongly preferred.

As an overnight caregiver (7p–7a), you will help the client remain safe, comfortable, and supported through the night by providing attentive supervision, personal care support as needed, and dementia-friendly communication. You must remain alert throughout the shift, maintain professional boundaries, and communicate clearly with the office and family when updates are needed.

This is a non-medical role. Caregivers provide support services, reminders, observation, and documentation based on the care plan.

• Maintain appropriate volume and timing to support sleep and comfort

• Prepare light snacks as appropriate (per dietary guidance/care plan)
