Caregiver

Are you a compassionate caregiver looking for more than a job? At Amada Senior Care of Los Altos, we believe caregiving is a calling, and we want to help you get paid for your purpose. We're a locally owned, state-licensed home care agency helping seniors stay safe and independent at home in Los Altos, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, and nearby communities. We put our caregivers first: weekly pay, W-2 employment, paid training, and an office team that picks up when you call.

As a caregiver, you will provide non-medical personal care and companionship in clients' homes, following a written care plan. You will be a trusted presence in someone's daily life, and the difference between a client staying at home and moving to a facility.

What we offer

• Competitive hourly pay: $21 - $25 per hour, based on experience and certifications
• Weekly pay by direct deposit
• W-2 employment (not 1099), with workers' compensation and payroll taxes handled by us
• California paid sick leave
• Mileage reimbursement when transporting clients
• Paid orientation and ongoing training that counts toward your annual HCA requirements
• Flexible scheduling: day, evening, overnight, and weekend shifts available.
• A supportive office team that answers the phone and backs you up in the field
• Caregiver referral bonus
