Do work that makes someone’s day.
Bradley Home Care is building a small team of kind, reliable companions in Montgomery County. Hiring begins once our Maryland license is issued. Join the caregiver interest list now and you will be among the first we call.
The best companions are good company.
You are patient. You notice when someone is quieter than usual. You can make a simple lunch, keep a kitchen tidy and hold a real conversation. You show up when you say you will.
If that sounds like you, you already have most of what this job needs. We will teach you the rest.
- 9:00Arrive, say good morning, and check the notes from the last visit.
- 9:15Coffee and conversation. The news, the grandchildren, the crossword.
- 10:00A short walk around the block, or a card game if it’s raining.
- 11:00Make lunch together the way they like it, and eat together.
- 12:00Laundry, fresh linens and a tidy kitchen.
- 12:45Write a short note for the family and say goodbye until Thursday.

The same clients each week
Consistent matches, so you get to know the people you care for and they get to know you.
Owners who pick up
No call center between you and the people who run Bradley. If something comes up on a visit, you call us.

From first call to first visit.
Here is how hiring will work once our license is issued. One of the owners is involved at every step.
Join the interest list
Use the short form below. It takes about two minutes, and no résumé is needed.
A phone conversation
One of the owners calls you to talk about the work, your availability and where you live.
Meet in person
A relaxed interview in Bethesda, then we contact your two references.
Background check and orientation
Once your check clears, we walk you through how Bradley works before your first visit.
Meet your first client
We introduce you in person, close to home, at a time that fits your schedule.
Be first to hear when we start hiring.
We are not interviewing yet. Leave your details and one of the owners will contact you as soon as our license is issued and hiring opens.
Prefer to talk? Call (240) 230-7975 or email info@bradleyhomecare.com. Bradley Home Care is an equal opportunity employer.
Do I need a CNA or GNA certification?
No. Bradley companions provide non-medical companionship and household help, so certification is not required. If you are a CNA or GNA, you are very welcome; tell us on the form.
Will I have to drive clients?
No. Bradley does not provide transportation, and companions will not drive clients. You do need a reliable way to get to and from visits near your home.
Will I help with bathing, toileting or medication?
No. Hands-on personal care and medication are outside what Bradley does. Your work is company, meals, light housekeeping and keeping an eye on how the day is going.
Is the work part-time?
Most visits are blocks of a few hours, with some overnights and weekends. You tell us the days and hours you can work, and we build around them.
How are companions matched with clients?
By location first, so you are not driving across the county, then by schedule and personality. The goal is that you see the same few clients week after week.
When does hiring start?
Hiring begins once our Maryland license is issued. Join the caregiver interest list and one of the owners will contact you as soon as we start interviewing.
