OUR Caregivers

Over Napa way, we are completely honored to celebrate Jose’ as our next Caregiver of the Month!

We actually had the pleasure of working with Jose’ for a couple of years, several years ago. Life takes us down different paths, and we were VERY happy when he was ready to REJOIN the Hired Hands Team this year!

When you have a caregiver that is so  professional, knowledgeable, a great communicator and someone who truly cares about the clients he cares for… you feel incredibly blessed to have them on your team! Sometimes when you are working with dementia clients, you need a lot of patience and need to stay on your toes to keep up with them and Jose is definitely a rock star! He is always a few steps ahead and ready to go.

Jose’s current client recently noted “Jose’ is such … Read More »

It Was THIRTY Years Ago Today!

While we absolutely love the Beatles… we’re not talking about the day “that Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play”!   On February 8, 1994 (YES, the Nineteens!) we started this little company called Hired Hands in Mill Valley!  Humble beginnings to say the least… but we made sure to have fun with it!  From Day One, our mantra and main premise was clear – Happy Employees create Happy Clients!  We knew it to be true… and we knew that by following those simple words, we could make a really positive impact on the people that we get to work with AND the families that we care for.

Today, WE move forward with THIRTY years of laughter, sweat and tears under our belts!  Together, in that time, WE have worked so very hard to brave the storms, … Read More »

“I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”  ~ Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

On Martin Luther King day, we honor a leader whose message of remaining resolute in the face of adversity continues to guide us in building a more equal, compassionate world. We must continue to honor his legacy by fighting injustice in all its forms. At Hired Hands Homecare, we are so very honored to have the pleasure to work side by side with such an amazing, diverse workforce. Acceptance, unity, and inclusion must become more common place in today’s society. Thank you for your role in that effort. Together, we can move mountains.

In celebration of the great Dr. King, our offices will be closed on Monday, Jan. 15, 2024.  Even though our … Read More »
