Become a helper
We know that for the right people being a senior helping other seniors is really a very rewarding position... a way to give and to receive.
Work as much or as little as you want.
We are always looking for loving, giving, caring, compassionate people to work with our seniors. Each of our helpers works as many hours a week as he or she wants.
Supplement your income.
Most of the people who work with us were looking for volunteer jobs, seeking activities that would add meaning to their lives. Working as a senior helping other seniors means you will be making an important contribution. It also provides you with an hourly wage that can help cover the extras.
No experience necessary. But lots of heart required.
We’d like to talk to you if you can offer companionship or a particular service. Many of our seniors who help out are recently retired or on a reduced work schedule and have never done anything like this before. But they all come to the work full of heart and caring.
