Is paid training provided for new caregivers — even without prior experience?

Yes. Cottage Home Care provides paid training and onboarding for new caregivers so you feel confident and prepared before your first client visit. Prior caregiving experience is not required to apply. We will train you to meet our standards — which are high — and support your growth from there. Many of our most valued long-term caregivers started with no formal experience at all.

How often are caregivers paid at Cottage Home Care?

Caregivers at Cottage Home Care are paid weekly, with direct deposit available. Reliable, on-time pay is a core commitment we make to every member of our team. If you have ever worked somewhere that made you chase your paycheck, you will appreciate how seriously we take this.

Can I choose my own hours as a caregiver at Cottage Home Care?

Yes — we offer part-time, full-time, and contract schedules across mornings, evenings, and weekends. Many of our caregivers are parents, students, or people with other responsibilities outside of work. We match your availability to client needs as closely as possible, and we respect that your time matters too. Flexible scheduling is one of the most consistent things our caregivers say they value about working here.

How do I apply for a caregiver job at Cottage Home Care?

You can apply online through the Careers page at cottagehomecare.com/careers, or through LinkedIn and Indeed. You can also call your local Cottage Home Care office directly. The process is straightforward — submit your application, complete a brief interview, and if selected, we walk you through paid onboarding and training.
