Job Description

Job Description
CHHA – Short 3-Hour Shifts | $21–$24/hr | Flexible DaysLooking for a shorter shift? We have them!

Preferred Care at Home is in need of NJ Certified Home Health Aides (CHHAs) who are interested in 3-hour and shorter shifts.

We know not every caregiver is looking for an 8- or 12-hour day. Sometimes 3 hours fit your life perfectly.

SHORT SHIFTS CAN BE A GREAT FIT IF YOU:
  • Already have another case and want extra hours

  • Want to work mornings or afternoons without committing to a full day

  • Are looking to get back into caregiving part-time

  • Want to combine multiple short cases to build your schedule

  • Prefer a consistent schedule that still leaves part of your day free

Our short-shift opportunities can include 3-hour scheduled cases, morning wellness checks, evening tuck-ins, and other shorter visits.

And if your needs change, that's okay! We also have longer shifts and full-day cases. As new cases become available, we can work with you to find a schedule that better fits your needs.
