Caregiving Career Opportunities

"A job I love, by the way, simply because it's fulfilling one of my hearts desires that a lot of people would reject or avoid altogether...which is caring for the elderly. My cup of tea! It feels so natural, as if it was meant to be or a special assignment that God saved especially for me. I love making an elderly person feel safe, comfortable & not so all alone, hopefully with a smile. My best part about working here is it gets to be on my terms, as far as my personal profile is concerned, and I have a choice to accept or decline a shift, if I don't feel comfortable or safe. TLC always accommodates me with great shifts or the perfect match, for the most part... I love that. Thank y'all very much."

"I am loving taking care of people and they know that they are loved."

"I have come to learn that every day is truly what you make it. No matter what you're facing in life, if you continue to show up and do your best, you will have many rewarding moments that equate to a rewarding life. The important work I do for my clients through TLC is always rewarding. There isn't a day I don't wake up excited for what awaits me. It brightens my day to walk into my client's home who has Alzheimer's disease to discover that today is going to be a great cognitive day for him because he recognizes me! To see the excitement on his face as he lights up because he knows I'm there to help and truly care for him is the most rewarding feeling in the world. My clients truly cherish sharing their life stories with me and it makes both of our lives richer to share in their precious memories. My greatest purpose in life is to be a kind helper, a support in times of need, and a caring listener and friend. Fulfilling the needs of others is what fulfills me."

"I receive joy in helping those who need compassion, patience, and a kind heart. What I like is that TLC is flexible in employment and understanding to life changes. …the staff works closely with the caregivers, to give a peace of mind of their choices, in order to provide proficient service. When I receive acknowledgement from seniors/others of their appreciation of the services I provided and I see and feel the difference made ... I can smile. A senior’s home that was in the worst way … required deep cleaning. …I knew in order to heal and feel better in his living environment, it must be clean. I incorporated more than tasks asked and made the environment clean and sanitized, as if was my own. The client was amazed and pleased of my acts and related how pleased and happy he was ... It brought me joy 😊. I made a difference!"

"I love watching my clients eyes light up when I come into the room and they are happy to see me. It is a rewarding job to be able to help someone out and to lift their spirits. Our world is full of sadness and negativity and to be able to brighten someone's world if even for a day, it's truly a gift."

"I have enjoyed meeting a variety of people. I've heard some interesting life stories. I even had a client who was a Holocaust survivor."

"My clients give me great joy. They are like part of my family."

"What I enjoy about my job is listening to the clients telling me about their lives and stories. This was something that I did with my great-grandma and my grandma as well. Senior citizens tell the best stories of what life was like back in the day. I really enjoy them. I also like to think that I bring some joy to their lives, especially in a time where all you hear is negativity. TLC is a good company to work for because they are flexible with scheduling and listen if there is a problem. TLC rocks and everyone is very special that works there. TLC is like an extension of family."

"I enjoy making a difference. Whether a person stays home safely or goes into a facility. I really enjoy listening to the elderly talk. They have a lot that we can learn from them if we just shut our mouths and open our ears."
