Caregiver/Companion for overnight - NOT heavy medical care

I’m looking for an experienced, reliable overnight caregiver/companion for my 84-year-old mother who lives in an assisted living community in Winter Garden.

She has dementia and is physically mobile. The main goal is safety and gentle redirection at night – NOT heavy medical care.

Duties:

Quiet overnight presence

Redirect her calmly if she tries to leave or enter other residents’ rooms

Escort her safely to the restroom if needed

Offer reassurance and conversation if she wakes up confused

Communicate brief nightly notes to me about any issues

Schedule:

Approx. 10:00 PM – 4:00/5:00 AM

3–5 nights per week to start (exact days flexible)

This is a private-pay position (not through the facility)

Requirements:

Experience with dementia/Alzheimer’s (professional or strong personal experience)

Calm, patient, and reliable – no drama, no flakiness

Able to pass a background check

Non-smoker, comfortable in an assisted living environment

Must be okay checking in with the nursing staff at the beginning/end of shifts

Compensation:

$18–20/hour to start, depending on experience, paid weekly

Potential to increase rate after the first month if it’s a good fit

If interested, please reply with:

A short description of your experience with dementia patients

Your availability (which nights you can work)

At least one reference (professional or family you’ve cared for)

Your phone number
