Caregiver - Day Shift

Make a Real Difference (and Have Fun Doing It!) 💛

Looking for a job where what you do truly matters every single day? Join Senior Helpers and become part of a caring, supportive team serving seniors across Central Iowa — including Des Moines, Urbandale, Johnston, West Des Moines, Waukee, and nearby communities.

In this role, you’re not just a caregiver — you’re a companion, a helper, and often the highlight of someone’s day. You’ll build meaningful relationships while helping older adults stay safe, comfortable, and independent in their own homes.

No two days are the same, and that’s what makes this work so rewarding.

Why You’ll Love Being Part of Our Team

We believe happy caregivers provide the best care — so we take care of you, too.

• 💵 Competitive pay: $16–$18/hour (based on experience)


• 🕒 Flexible scheduling that works with your life


• 📚 Paid training + ongoing support so you feel confident and prepared


• 🏆 Proud to be a Certified Great Place to Work® for 5 years in a row


• 🤝 A team that truly values, respects, and appreciates you

What You’ll Be Doing

• Helping with daily tasks like meals, light housekeeping, and personal care


• Providing companionship, conversation, and connection


• Creating a safe, comfortable, and positive environment for your client

Who We’re Looking For

• Kind, dependable people who genuinely enjoy helping others


• Team players who are willing to learn and grow


• Experience in caregiving, healthcare, or senior living is a plus — but not required

More Than a Job — It’s a Purpose

If you want a role where you can go home knowing you made someone’s day better, this is it. 💫

Come be part of something meaningful and join a team that’s dedicated to improving the lives of seniors across Central Iowa.
