Location: Wake Forest, NC and nearby communities
Pay: $14–$18 per hour, based on credentials, experience, and assignment
Employment Type: Part-time and PRN, with opportunities for additional hours as client needs grow

Are you looking for a caregiving position where you can slow down, focus on one person, and make a meaningful difference?

Preferred Care at Home of Wake Forest, Zebulon, and Henderson is building a dependable local team of caregivers to support seniors in Wake Forest and nearby communities, including Youngsville, Franklinton, Rolesville, and Louisburg. We are seeking CNAs, PCAs, HHAs, and experienced caregivers who believe older adults deserve compassionate, respectful care in the comfort of their own homes.

Unlike facility-based care, our caregivers work one-on-one with clients. This gives you the opportunity to understand each person’s routines, preferences, and needs while building a genuine relationship with the client and family.

This is an assignment-based position. Schedules and weekly hours vary based on client needs, caregiver availability, qualifications, proximity, and compatibility. We make every reasonable effort to match caregivers with clients close to where they live. Additional assignments and hours may become available as our client base grows.
