About this role
Caregiver — Senior Living Community
Garden City, ID | Full-time & Part-time | Day, Evening, and Overnight (NOC) shifts available
Come do work that matters.
Every day, you'll walk into a place where your kindness changes lives. If you have a patient heart, steady hands, and the kind of presence that makes people feel safe, we want to meet you.
What you'll do
You'll help residents move through their day with dignity — a warm shower, a favorite breakfast, a hand to hold on the walk to the dining room. Specifically, you'll:
- Assist with daily living: bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, eating, and mobility
- Prepare and serve meals from our menus, including modified diets, and help keep the kitchen and dining areas clean
- Support residents with medication reminders and assistance
- Use proven memory care techniques to gently redirect and engage residents during difficult moments
- Lead and join in on activities that bring joy — music, crafts, conversation, laughter
- Keep resident rooms and common areas clean, safe, and welcoming (light housekeeping and laundry)
- Document care accurately and communicate clearly with your team
What we're looking for
- At least 18 years old (or 17 with an Idaho CNA certificate)
- A genuine love for older adults — especially those living with dementia or Alzheimer's
- Dependable, on-time, and a true team player
- Able to lift up to 35 pounds and stay active throughout your shift
- Strong communication skills, both verbal and written
- Ability to keep resident information confidential and handle emergencies calmly
Nice to have (we'll help you get there if you don't)
- CNA certification
- Medication Assistant certification (or Idaho equivalent)
- CPR, First Aid, and Food Handler's cards
- Previous caregiving or cooking experience, especially for groups
A few things to know
- Background check and pre-employment drug screen
- Monthly continuing education provided to keep your skills sharp
- This is hands-on, physical work — lots of standing, walking, bending, and lifting
Why join us
This isn't a job where you clock in and disappear. You'll know your residents by name, learn their stories, meet their families, and become part of something steady and meaningful. We'll invest in your training, support your growth, and stand beside you on the hard days.
If you're ready to bring your best to people who need it most — apply today. We'd love to hear from you.
