    Description

    $18–$22/hr | About 10 hours/week | Northern Colorado

    There’s a quiet problem in this town.

    It doesn’t make noise.

    It doesn’t break windows.

    It shrinks people’s lives one canceled outing at a time.

    It’s called Isolation.

    And once a week, someone needs you to interrupt it.

    The Assignment

    Show up.

    Sit down.

    Stay awhile.

    Drink coffee together.

    Take a short walk.

    Listen to stories nobody else hears anymore.

    Help with cooking and a little housekeeping.

    Help someone stay steady in their own home.

    No rush.

    No heavy care.

    No chaos shifts.

    Just presence.

    Who This Role Was Built For

    Retired adults who aren’t finished yet.

    People who still notice when someone disappears from their routine.

    People who believe time is the most valuable thing they can give.

    Especially seniors willing to support other seniors.

    The Schedule

    About 10 hours per week

    Predictable.

    Close to home.

    No surprise coverage calls.

    No winter driving assignments.

    Snowbird schedule welcome.

    Vacations respected.

    One Honest Detail

    Sometimes someone needs help using the bathroom.

    If that happens:

    We train you

    We prepare you

    We match comfort level

    We match gender preference

    Nothing unexpected. Nothing forced.

    What This Job Is Not

    Not lifting.

    Not medical care.

    Not rushing between houses.

    Not being treated like backup staff.

    This is one relationship. One home. One person who notices when you arrive.

    What Actually Happens When You Do This Work

    A phone gets answered again.

    Lights turn on earlier in the evening.

    Someone starts walking outside more often.

    Someone laughs more than they did last week.

    Isolation loses ground.

    Seniors Helping Seniors® of Northern Colorado

    We hire seniors to help seniors because shared experience and shared perspective matter.

    People trust someone who has already lived.

    Before You Apply

    Answer honestly:

    If yes — you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
