Serve with Heart. Work with Purpose. Grow with Us.
At Assisting Hands Home Care – The Villages, caregiving is more than a job. It is a calling. We are a locally owned and operated home care agency serving Sumter, Lake, and Marion counties, and we are actively hiring compassionate caregivers, CNAs, and HHAs who want steady hours, fair pay, and a team that treats them like family.
Our clients are concentrated in and around The Villages, one of the largest and fastest-growing retirement communities in the country. For caregivers, that means something most agencies cannot offer: consistent client demand, shorter drives between shifts, and the ability to build a full schedule close to home.

- Paid time off, including PTO, sick days, and vacation days

Now Hiring Caregivers Across Sumter, Lake, and Marion Counties
Most of our caregivers live in the communities surrounding The Villages, and we build every schedule around clients as close to home as possible. If you live in any of the areas below, we have clients near you.
Caregiver Jobs in The Villages and Lady Lake
This is the heart of our service area and where client demand is highest. Caregivers based in The Villages or Lady Lake can build a full weekly schedule with short drives between shifts, often staying inside a few square miles all day. If you want steady hours and minimal windshield time, this is the easiest place to fill a calendar.
Caregiver Jobs in Ocala and Belleview
Our Ocala and Belleview caregivers reach most clients with a straightforward drive down US-441 or US-301. If you live in Marion County, you can work close to home instead of commuting into The Villages, and we match you with the nearest clients first.
Caregiver Jobs in Leesburg and Fruitland Park
Leesburg and Fruitland Park sit 15 to 20 minutes from most of our client homes. It is an ideal base if you want consistent Lake County shifts without driving across county lines every day. We schedule Leesburg-area caregivers with clients on the south and west sides of our coverage whenever possible.
Caregiver Jobs in Wildwood, Oxford, and Summerfield
Wildwood, Oxford, and Summerfield sit right in the middle of our coverage area, which means short drives in almost any direction. Caregivers based here have some of the most flexible scheduling options we offer, since clients across all three counties are within easy reach.
You choose your availability, and we build your schedule around it with clients as close to home as possible.
