    • Your local office may offer you a variety of initial and ongoing career training opportunities to help you grow your skills. This could include but not limited to:
      • A "library" of senior care reference materials and resources in the office and online
  • On-the-job training for unique client situations

You don't mind getting a little dirty ... this could include (but is not limited to) assisting the client with homemaking activities, such as vacuuming, dusting, sweeping or mopping floors, doing dishes, changing bed linens, laundry, and cleaning bathrooms in ways that provide satisfaction and extraordinary results. During each work shift, the Homemaker/Companion must spend less than 20% of his or her time on general household work.
You establish "partner" relationships with the client by providing companionship during activities such as accompanying client on walks, trips to social/recreational activities, assistance with hobbies, etc.
