Los Angeles Senior Caregiver Jobs Provide Ongoing Employment

Online, August 1, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Caring for a senior requires many skills, as senior care involves
emotional and physical care along with understanding the
challenges that come with the aging process. As the senior
population in the U.S.A. continues to increase, more caregivers
are needed to work for senior care companies.

Becoming a caregiver requires a caring and dependable
personality and completion of proper training. Non-medical
caregivers are caregivers who are not Certified Nursing
Assistants. The industry uses the term "non-medical" caregivers
for all private duty companion caregivers.

Caregiverlist provides a Caregiverlist Certified Caregiver
training course for beginning caregivers. This course provides
a convenient way for those caregivers who may have personal
experience, but no professional experience, to obtain professional
caregiver training.

Caregiverlist's 10-hour online training program for senior
caregivers meets the requirements established by the department
of health in a few states, such as Illinois. Caregivers
may take the online course to meet the state caregiver
training requirements. Industry professionals, including the
National Private Duty Association (NPDA) were instrumental in
creating the training requirements for Illinois caregivers.

Caregiving as a career includes working for licensed senior home
care agencies, assisted living communities, hospices and nursing
homes. Los Angeles senior care companies such as Senior Helpers,
Synergy and Home and Hearth all hire professional caregivers
for their positions through Caregiverlist's job application
service. Hiring needs change quickly for senior care companies
and Caregiverlist assists caregivers to easily submit one job
application and be considered for multiple Los Angeles caregiver
job openings.

Part-time and full-time positions are always available, for both
weekdays and weekends as many times seniors require around-
the-clock care. Live-in care positions are also available, where
caregivers spend the night with the senior and stay for a few days
at a time, but they do not actually move in with the senior.

Los Angeles Senior caregivers, both beginning and experienced,
may apply for Caregiving jobs at Caregiverlist.com and learn
about caregiver job descriptions, caregiver pay and take a
practice Certified Nursing Assistant test.
