Job Details

Caregiver needed for a sweet couple in the comfort of their Washoe Valley home; Monday through Friday 9:00AM-4:00PM. Amazing opportunity with full time Monday through Friday hours while working with a very sweet couple!

Care giving services are needed for both clients who live together. The husband is currently on hospice care. His wife has COPD, CHF, and significant hearing loss.
