Companion & Care Specialist | San Diego
$18–23/hr | Flexible Schedules | Paid Training | 401(k)
Not everyone can do what you do. Walk into a room and make it feel safer. Remember how someone takes their coffee. Know when to talk and when to just sit close. Make ordinary moments — a warm meal, a steady hand, a laugh at exactly the right time — feel like something extraordinary.
That's not a job description. That's a gift. And we're looking for people who have it.
We're expanding our team of Companion & Care Specialists across the Greater San Diego area. If you show up not just with skill but with heart, we want you on our team.
What You'll Do
You'll support clients living with Alzheimer's, Dementia, ALS, and Parkinson's — helping them stay safe, comfortable, and at home, where they belong. Your days will include:
-
Personal care — bathing, grooming, dressing, and hygiene, always delivered with dignity
-
Mobility support, safe transfers, and gentle redirection for memory care clients
-
Meal preparation and mealtime assistance
-
Light housekeeping, errands, grocery runs, and prescription pick-ups
-
Transporting clients to appointments and outings
-
Monitoring wellbeing and keeping the care team informed when something changes
-
Being the calm, consistent presence that clients and families count on every single day
