Looking for Overnight Hours With More Flexibility?

Freedom Home Care is hiring dependable, experienced Overnight Awake Caregivers to provide one-on-one care to clients in their homes throughout the Owatonna or Mankato area.

This is a PRN (as-needed) position, giving you the opportunity to pick up available overnight shifts that work with your schedule.

This is an awake overnight position. Caregivers must remain awake, alert, and available for the entire 10:00 PM–7:00 AM shift to provide safety, comfort, supervision, and assistance as needed.

If you're an experienced caregiver who is reliable, independent, and comfortable working overnight, we'd love to hear from you.

Why Choose Overnight Home Care?

One Client at a Time

Instead of caring for multiple residents at once, you'll have the opportunity to focus your attention on one client in the comfort of their own home.

Flexible PRN Scheduling

Pick up available overnight shifts based on your availability. This can be a great opportunity for caregivers looking to add extra hours to their schedule.

Meaningful Work

Your presence overnight provides clients and their families with reassurance that someone is awake, attentive, and available when assistance is needed.

Support When You Need It

You'll have the support of Freedom Home Care's office, nursing, and care management teams.

What You'll Do

Responsibilities vary based on each client's individual care plan and may include:

• Remaining awake and alert throughout the entire overnight shift
• Providing safety supervision and monitoring
• Assisting with toileting and personal care
• Providing mobility and transfer assistance
• Repositioning or other overnight care as required
• Medication reminders
• Light housekeeping related to client care
• Providing reassurance and companionship
• Responding promptly when the client needs assistance
• Completing required care documentation
• Observing and reporting changes in the client's condition

Pay & Perks

• $18–$21/hour, based on experience
• $200 retention bonus after 90 days
• $250 caregiver referral bonus after eligibility requirements are met
• Time-and-a-half holiday pay
• Mileage reimbursement when applicable
• Early access to pay
• Employee rewards and recognition
• Ongoing training and development
• Support from our local office, nursing, and care management teams

What We're Looking For

We're looking for caregivers who are:

• Dependable and committed to their scheduled shifts
• Compassionate, patient, and respectful
• Professional and responsive
• Comfortable working independently in a client's home
• Comfortable providing personal care
• Able to follow an individualized care plan
• Able to communicate effectively with clients, families, and the Freedom Home Care team
• Able to remain awake, alert, and attentive throughout the entire overnight shift

• Be 18 years of age or older
• Have previous professional caregiving experience
• Have a valid driver's license
• Have their own reliable personal vehicle
• Maintain current auto insurance
• Meet Freedom Home Care's driving record requirements
• Successfully complete a Minnesota DHS background study

• Be able to remain awake and alert for the entire 10:00 PM–7:00 AM shift
• Be able to work independently and respond appropriately to client needs throughout the night
