Please join us in congratulating Andi as our most recent Caregiver of the Month!

We recently had some fun with Andi, and surprised her on shift to present her with her award.  Andi is super dependable, flexible, and always eager to help in any way she can… even if that means going across counties to help our Hired Hands Clients!  She has grown into a wonderful caregiver and is always looking for opportunities to enhance her skill set.  We are grateful for Andi’s hard work and strong communication skills.  She always gives the office the best reports!

Hey Andi… what do you have to say?

“I love working for Hired Hands because it gives me a chance to do one of the things that gives me a sense of fulfillment, from helping people.  It has also allowed me an opportunity to cross paths with … Read More »

The HIRED HANDS HOMECARE team is proud to congratulate Sera B, as our most recent Caregiver of the Month! We actually recently lured her into the office to drop off an air mattress, so we could surprise her with our Caregiver of the Month award. Sera was speechless and honored to be recognized for going above and beyond. Sera is a regular on our Live-in Team, and has really raised the bar for super high quality care. Sera is highly skilled, dependable, flexible, and willing to help in any way she can, most recently even helping out with a client down in Fairfax in Marin!  Even though Sera has only been with Hired Hands since March, we have received MANY compliments commending Sera for her great work- including a handwritten letter and a nice mention in a clients’ obituary.  The Hired Hands team couldn’t … Read More »

The team at Hired Hands Homecare is thrilled to honor Charles as our latest Caregiver of the month!

Charles has been an outstanding caregiver since he started with us back in 2020 and we are so grateful that he is part of the Hired Hands Team in Napa! Every client that Charles has cared for has nothing but positive feelings towards Charles and the care he provides comes straight from the heart!

Charles enjoys helping others and whenever we share positive feedback from his clients regarding the care he provides, he always says “This is why I do this.  To be able to touch people’s lives and make a difference is what it is all about.”

Please join us in congratulating Emeli as our Caregiver of the Month for May and Ana as our Caregiver of the month for June!

Emeli and Ana are currently our Live-In team for our client Darlene.  We recently got a chance to surprise them together as they were doing a shift change, and Darlene was so pleased to share in the celebration of her “Dream Team” as she refers to them.  Believe us… Emeli and Ana are truly just that- a DREAM TEAM!

Emeli and Ana have both REALLY raised the bar with the care they provide 24/7.  When we started providing assistance to Darlene, she had rather severe ambulation challenges, and was unsure if she would be able to walk again. As of a month ago, Darlene has made amazing progress and is now able to walk around the house with … Read More »

What an important time it is… Let’s Celebrate!

June is a special time of year for so many different reasons!  First, the whole month celebrates Pride.  Around the globe, we join the LGBTQ community to celebrate their impact, progress, and acceptance.

Secondly, let’s raise our glasses to the Grads and Dads!  Whether its Pre-school or Grad School… we toast these important educational milestones, and all the hard work it took to get there!  Great job GRADS… and best of luck in your next chapter!  And to all the DADS… our heartfelt THANKS for your patience, support, and guidance over all these years!  Happy Father’s Day – we wouldn’t be here without you!

And lastly, on Monday, June 19, we celebrate Juneteenth, to commemorate the emancipation of slaves in the US.  Let us all applaud African American freedom and achievement, and encourage self-development, respect … Read More »



Katarina is So Sweet!

Please join us in congratulating Katarina as our most recent Caregiver of the Month!

We have had the distinct pleasure of working with Katarina for over three and a half years now.  In that time, not only has she been amazing with a number of our Clients, but she has also enjoyed working here so much that she has referred multiple family to join our team!  Nice!  We consider it a HUGE compliment when our employees are so happy, that they refer us to their own friends and family!

Recently, Katarina was has been working with Pat, one of our long-time clients, and has been doing an outstanding job!  Typically, Pat has chosen to keep to her room, and not leave for any reason.   Within a week, Katarina was able to change that with her sweet and soft-spoken nature.
