Overview
A private family located in Windermere, Florida is seeking an experienced and dedicated Dementia Caregiver to provide full-time support for their household. The primary focus of this role is caring for the family’s mother, who is living with Alzheimer’s disease, though the caregiver will also provide morning and afternoon assistance to the principal’s father. The household is staffed by a wider team during the week, and this role is focused exclusively on delivering high-quality personal care and daily engagement on a rotational schedule, working approximately 3 days on and 4 days off or vice versa. The role would require you to live on the premises during your working days and provide overnight assistance to the clients. This is not a passive supervision role. The family is specifically seeking a high-caliber, proactive caregiver who brings energy, structure, and genuine initiative to every day. The ideal candidate will be comfortable working independently within a well-run private household, with a cat.Responsibilities
