Open Positions in Brooklyn

Home Health Aide (HHA)

New York State-certified HHAs complete a minimum 75-hour, Department of Health-approved training program before working with clients. In Brooklyn, HHA duties typically include bathing, dressing, grooming and toileting assistance, safe transfers and mobility support, meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping and accompanying clients to medical appointments in the neighborhood. Every HHA works under an individualized care plan developed and supervised by a 7 Day Home Care Registered Nurse.

Personal Care Aide (PCA)

PCAs complete a minimum 40-hour, Department of Health-approved training program. PCA responsibilities center on non-medical activities of daily living — personal care, meal preparation, grocery shopping, light housekeeping and mobility assistance — for clients who don't require the health-related tasks within an HHA's scope of practice.

Companion Caregiver

Companion Caregivers provide conversation, companionship, supervision, meal preparation and errand or appointment assistance for Brooklyn clients who are largely independent but benefit from a consistent, trustworthy presence during the day, overnight, or on a live-in basis. Certification requirements vary by assignment.

7 Day Home Care hires caregivers as W-2 employees — not through a registry and not as independent contractors — which means background checks, insurance coverage and Registered Nurse oversight are already in place before you're matched with a client.

Working With a Private Pay & Long-Term Care Insurance Agency

7 Day Home Care works directly with private-pay families and long-term care insurance policyholders — we are not a Medicaid managed care provider. For caregivers, that distinction shapes the day-to-day experience of the job in a few practical ways:

Assignments are built around the client's actual needs, not a Medicaid-authorized hour count, so schedules — including live-in and extended-hour cases — tend to reflect what the family has decided to arrange rather than a fixed authorization.
Scheduling decisions happen directly between the family, our office and you, without waiting on a managed care plan's approval process.
Clients tend to stay with the agency long-term, since private-pay and LTC insurance arrangements are typically set up for sustained, ongoing care rather than short authorization windows.
Our office handles the administrative side — billing the family or the long-term care insurance carrier directly — so caregivers can focus on the client rather than paperwork.

Many Brooklyn clients pay privately or draw on a long-term care insurance policy they've held for years specifically so they can stay in the home and neighborhood they've lived in for decades, with consistent, dedicated care — and that's the kind of assignment our caregivers are matched with.

What It's Like Working in Brooklyn

Brooklyn is New York City's most populous borough, and its housing stock and neighborhood culture are distinct from what you'll find in Manhattan or Queens:

Walk-up buildings are common. Many Brooklyn brownstones, brick row houses and older apartment buildings — especially in neighborhoods like Park Slope, Cobble Hill, Bed-Stuy and Sunset Park — don't have elevators, so caregivers should be comfortable assisting clients with stairs and comfortable with a few flights themselves.
Religious observance shapes some households' routines. Neighborhoods like Borough Park, Williamsburg, Midwood and parts of Flatbush have large Orthodox Jewish communities, where a caregiver's comfort with a kosher kitchen and Sabbath-related scheduling can be genuinely helpful, even though it isn't a requirement for the role.
Caribbean-American communities are a significant part of central Brooklyn. Neighborhoods such as Flatbush, East Flatbush, Canarsie and Crown Heights have large Haitian, Jamaican and Trinidadian populations, and familiarity with Caribbean food and household customs can help a caregiver connect quickly with a new client.
The borough is geographically large, so the subway line you'll use depends on the neighborhood. The F and G serve Park Slope and Carroll Gardens; the N, Q and B reach Brighton Beach and Sheepshead Bay; the A and C run through Bed-Stuy and Brownsville; the L serves Williamsburg and Bushwick; the 2, 3, 4 and 5 cover Flatbush and East Flatbush; and the J and Z reach Bushwick and East New York.

Speak a Second Language? Certain Brooklyn Neighborhoods Request It Often

Brooklyn's neighborhoods each carry their own strong cultural identity, and that shapes what families in a given area are often looking for in a caregiver. Brighton Beach and Sheepshead Bay have one of the largest Russian-speaking communities in the country; Sunset Park is home to a large and growing Chinese-speaking community; and pockets of Bensonhurst, Borough Park and Midwood include Spanish-speaking households as well. If you're bilingual, our language-specific caregiver job pages go into more detail than this general Brooklyn listing:

Russian Speaking Caregiver Jobs — including Brighton Beach & Sheepshead Bay
Chinese (Mandarin & Cantonese) Speaking Caregiver Jobs — including Sunset Park
Spanish Speaking Caregiver Jobs
Hindi, Urdu & Punjabi Speaking Caregiver Jobs
Farsi (Persian) Speaking Caregiver Jobs
Filipino Tagalog Speaking Caregiver Jobs

Speaking a second language isn't required to work with us in Brooklyn — we welcome caregivers of every background — but in neighborhoods like these, it's frequently what a family asks for first.
