What does it take to be a senior Helper?

It all starts with care

Most older adults are looking for someone they connect with. You don't need formal training or medical experience. Just be warm, good at listening, and showing you care.

Build your skills over time

Most caregivers for seniors start out by caring for their own family members, then take on new clients and gain new skills throughout their career.

Boost your pay rate with online qualifications

Adding new qualifications to your profile helps you ask for higher pay. Start with basic skills like first aid, CPR, and safe lifting techniques. Powered by CareAcademy.

Be reliable and professional

The key to satisfied senior care clients is good communication and follow through. Be on time, dress professionally, and respond quickly to messages.

about being
a Helper

The first step is to sign up and create your Helper profile, where you'll share a little bit about yourself, your skills, availability, and preferred pay rate. Next, you can search for private senior care jobs in your area, apply instantly, chat with clients, and accept your booking offers.
Helpers typically make an average of $20-30/hour. It depends on your skills, what kind of care services you provide, and the typical wages for caregivers in your area. You can also chat with clients to negotiate your pay rate during the interview process.
Unlike agencies, on Herewith you book jobs directly with clients, so you can decide how much you'd like to work. You can set your availability on your profile and apply for jobs that work for your schedule.
The most important qualities in working with older adults are patience, caring for others, good communication, and friendliness. Many Helpers started out by caring for their own family members or neighbors. Experience as a professional caregiver, certificates, and skills like first aid training are a bonus that can help you earn more per hour.
On Herewith, Helpers provide non-medical in-home care and everyday assistance to private clients. That usually includes things like light housekeeping, meal prep, errands, transportation assistance, and medication reminders. If there are any special skills required, such as dialysis experience or dementia experience, you'll see it in the Help Request.

Got experience with Dialysis Care?

Herewith partners with local clinics to offer non-medical support for in-home dialysis treatments 3–5 times a week. If you have experience with dialysis machines, being a Care Partner, or working in a dialysis clinic, talk to our team today to learn about Dialysis Helper jobs near you.
