Dementia Caregiver | Day Shift | Starting at $19 | New Haven, North Haven and surrounding areas.

Starting at $19hr | 8AM–8PM | High-Standard Private Homes

This is not a “babysitting” role.

We care for individuals living with moderate to advanced dementia in private homes where professionalism, awareness, and emotional maturity matter.

We are looking for Memory Care Partners who can remain calm, observant, and regulated — even when situations are confusing, repetitive, or emotionally intense.

If you become reactive, defensive, or overwhelmed easily, this position will not be a fit.

What This Role Actually Requires

Memory Care Partners don’t just “sit with someone.” You’re day includes 3 things:

• Core care & safety - This includes ADLs and IADLs including Keeping the home environment safe and med reminders
• Engagement & everyday activities - We focus heavily on keeping people involved in everyday life. We work with families to identify “Moments That Matter.”
• Support for the family - Memory Care Partners also help reduce stress for the family by:
• Keeping the home organized
• Observing changes in behavior or condition
• Documenting what happened during the shift
• Communicating important updates to the care team

So the day is usually a mix of care, conversation, and normal daily routines, depending on the person’s needs and energy that day.

No two days look exactly the same. Every day is a little different, but the goal is simple: care, connection, and helping the person stay part of daily life.

You must treat caregiving as a profession — not a favor.

You will:

• Provide hands-on personal care (bathing, dressing, toileting, feeding assistance) Stay actively engaged throughout the shift Follow a structured care plan exactly as written Document every 2 hours (required, not optional) Notice and report cognitive or behavioral changes immediately Communicate professionally with families and the office Maintain composure during resistance, repetition, or emotional outbursts

This is structured dementia care — not passive supervision.

The Type of Clients You Will Support

Our clients may:

• Repeat the same question 20 times Refuse care Accuse you of taking items Become emotionally tearful or agitated Experience hallucinations Be in late-stage or end-of-life decline

We train you in how to respond appropriately using structured methods (STOP Method, validation, redirection).

You are not expected to be perfect.You are expected to stay regulated and follow protocol.

What We Look For (Read Carefully)

We hire Memory Care Partners who:

• Stay calm under pressure Do not argue or correct clients Accept feedback without defensiveness Follow documentation requirements Show up on time — consistently Maintain clean, professional appearance Understand they are working inside high-expectation homes

We do not hire based on personality alone.We hire based on behavior and accountability.

Requirements

• Minimum 5 years professional caregiving experience Minimum 2 years dementia or memory care experience Reliable transportation Ability to remain active for 12-hour shifts Ability to communicate clearly with clients, families, and office staff

Formal education is not the deciding factor.Emotional maturity and professionalism are.

Documentation & Standards

• Notes entered every 2 hours Immediate reporting of changes in condition Adherence to stage-based shift expectations No sleeping, phone scrolling, or disengagement during shift

These standards are enforced.

Schedule

• 8AM–8PM Consistent scheduling Every Other Weekend commitment required
