We hire for character and train the rest
Caregiving is not a job you can fake your way through, and it is not one you can learn entirely from a manual either. If you are the kind of person families trust with their mother, we will teach you the rest.

What the work actually is
You go to somebody's house and help them do the things they can no longer do alone. Washing, dressing, getting to the bathroom safely, a meal that is actually eaten, the laundry, the shopping, the drive to the eye doctor. Some of it is physical. Most of it is showing up, noticing what has changed since last week, and being good company for a few hours.
- Training through the Guiding Souls Training Academy
- Shifts from a few hours a week up to live-in
- A small team, so the office knows your name
- Work across four counties, matched to where you live
Working at Guiding Souls
If yours is not here, ask it on the phone: (916) 229-8120.
Do I need experience to work as a caregiver?
Not necessarily. Guiding Souls hires for character and trains the rest through the Guiding Souls Training Academy. What cannot be trained is showing up when you said you would and treating somebody's mother the way you would want yours treated.
What does the hiring process involve?
A conversation first, then background checks, reference checks and the applicable California requirements. Submitting an application does not create an offer of employment or any employment relationship.
What kind of work is it?
Non-medical home care: helping with bathing, dressing, meals, medication reminders, housekeeping, errands, transport and company. Shifts range from a couple of hours a week to overnight and around the clock cover, across Sacramento, Placer, Yolo and El Dorado counties.
