What are the responsibilities and job description for the Caregiver – Make a Difference (and Actually Be Appreciated!) position at Firstlight Home Care of Dothan?
Let’s be honest — this job isn’t for everyone...
If you’re the type to call out a lot, show up late, or disappear after two weeks — this probably isn't the job for you.
BUT…
If you’re reliable, kind, and actually care about people, keep reading!
What This Job Really Is
You’ll be helping real people in their homes — not sitting behind a desk, not in a facility, and definitely not doing busy work.
Some Days Look Like
✔ Helping someone get ready for the day
✔ Cooking a meal
✔ Keeping them safe and comfortable
✔ Being someone they can count on
Some clients need hands-on care. Some just need a steady presence. Most need both.
Let’s Talk About The Schedule
Most daytime cases fall between 7am–7pm
Overnights are typically 7pm–7am
Shifts can be: 4 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours
We build your schedule around client needs first — that’s just the nature of this business. The more availability you have, the more hours you’ll usually get.
Why People Actually Stay Here :)
We’re not perfect—but we do a few things really well:
Pay & Perks
$12–$14/hour
Extra pay for VA Clients
Bonuses for sticking around (we like loyalty)
Mileage reimbursement
Flexible scheduling
Quick Reality Check! This is real caregiving.
That means:
