No rotating shifts, no Sunday-night surprises. $20.00/hr in meaningful work you can feel — this isn't retail. You're making a real difference in one person's day, every day. 1:1 support means predictability — you know your client, your setting, and what to expect each shift. Less chaos, more consistency.
