Companion Caregiver Team - 24 hour care

Love history? Big personalities? Interesting conversations?

Ever wanted a job where your curiosity, humor, and ability to just be human actually matter?

We’re building a small, thoughtful team of companion caregivers to support a fascinating, active older adult in Dubuque, IA — someone who loves conversation, history, ideas, movement, and living life on his own terms.

This is not traditional caregiving.

There’s no bathing, toileting, or hands-on care.

This role is about presence, pacing, curiosity, and dignity — and doing it as part of a 24-hour care team, not solo.

If you’re the kind of person who:

• 
  

  enjoys wandering conversations

  
  


• 
  

  likes learning random historical facts

  
  


• 
  

  can roll with eccentricity

  
  


• 
  

  and doesn’t need a rigid script to feel confident

  
  

…keep reading.

• 
  

  Being present while he stays active (tennis, skiing, movement)

  
  


• 
  

  Helping with transitions only if needed (jackets, gear, getting settled)

  
  


• 
  

  Light tidying so the home stays comfortable

  
  

No personal care for now.  No medical tasks. No hovering.
