What We Look for in a Caregiver
Family-Owned Home Care Agency
Inviting a caregiver into your home is a big deal. It’s not just about help with daily tasks, it’s about trust, comfort, and knowing your loved one is genuinely cared for.
At Monarch Care Co, we are extremely intentional about who we hire. Skills and experience matter, but who someone is as a person matters just as much.
Here’s what we look for in every caregiver who represents our team.
- Family-Owned & Local
- Personalized Care Plans
- Flexible Scheduling
- Compassionate Caregivers
- 24/7 Support
Compassion Comes First
Above all else, our caregivers must be compassionate.
We look for people who truly care about others. The kind of people who are patient, kind, and naturally empathetic. Seniors deserve to feel respected, listened to, and valued, not rushed or treated like a task on a checklist.
You can teach skills. You can’t teach a heart for helping people.
A Genuine Love for Helping Seniors
Not everyone is meant to work with older adults, and that’s okay.
We specifically look for caregivers who enjoy working with seniors and feel fulfilled doing so. Our best caregivers are the ones who take pride in building relationships, sharing conversations, and making someone’s day a little easier and brighter.
When someone truly loves what they do, it shows.
Reliability You Can Count On
Families rely on us, and we take that responsibility seriously.
That’s why reliability is non-negotiable. We look for caregivers who show up on time, communicate clearly, and understand how important consistency is, especially for seniors who thrive on routine and familiarity.
Being dependable isn’t just professional. It’s respectful.
Great Personality & Positive Energy
Caregiving is personal, and personality matters.
We look for caregivers who are warm, friendly, and easy to connect with. A good personality can turn an ordinary day into a great one, whether that’s through conversation, humor, or simply a calm, reassuring presence.
Experience Working With Seniors
Experience matters, especially when it comes to senior care.
We prioritize caregivers who have hands-on experience working with older adults, including those with dementia, mobility challenges, or chronic conditions. Experience brings confidence, better judgment, and the ability to handle situations with patience and professionalism.
It also brings peace of mind to families.
Why This Matters to Families
We know families aren’t just hiring a service, they’re trusting us with someone they love.
That’s why we hold our caregivers to high standards and never rush the hiring process. We choose quality over quantity every time, because the right caregiver makes all the difference.
At Monarch Care Co, our caregivers are the heart of what we do, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Looking for care you can truly feel good about?
Choosing care is a big decision, and you don’t have to make it alone. If you’d like to learn more about how we match families with the right caregiver, we’re always happy to talk.
