Home Helpers ranked among best places to work

Home Helpers is ranked as one of the best places to work for caregivers, companions, and nurse aids, as determined by the caregivers themselves.

Home Helpers is one of only 10 agencies selected in the recent myCNAjobs Caregiver Choice Awards program. Unlike other workplace-related awards, which require companies to self-nominate, the Caregiver Choice Awards rely solely on the input of caregivers across the nation, who anonymously provide feedback through a survey. The survey is distributed to thousands of professional caregivers working in homecare via myCNAjobs’ caregiver marketplace.

“The Choice Awards represent some of the most outstanding home care employers to work for,” says Brandi Kurtyka, CEO of Chicago-based myCNAjobs.
