Do you love helping others but lack formal healthcare experience and training? Consider becoming a companion caregiver. Being a companion caregiver is more than just a job. Companion caregivers are an important part of the Visiting Angels Madison team. Companion caregivers help seniors and adults with disabilities maintain their independence in their own homes by providing in-home assistance with daily living skills such as light housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, and errands. Our companion caregivers also provide emotional support through conversation and by helping with hobbies or playing games.

The role of companion caregiver is perfect for anyone who is both reliable and caring. Moms, retirees, anyone looking to get a start with a caregiving career or anyone looking to be rewarded by the knowledge they are providing assistance to those in need, make perfect candidates.

And if you decide you want to take on more complex cases, Visiting Angels Madison will provide paid training. Learn how to provide personal care, use a mechanical lift or just how to better communicate with people dealing with dementia and other conditions.
