Congratulations on graduating from nursing school! At Care Options for Kids, the fastest-growing home health care company in the southeast, we are excited to offer you a unique and rewarding opportunity to start your nursing career in the pediatric field.

First, let us tell you a little about the role.

About the Role

At Care Options for Kids, a home health care company providing 1 : 1 pediatric care in the home, we do things a little differently.

There's no revolving door of patients or hospital setting chaos blinking call lights, scurrying doctors, and wards bursting at the seams.

Instead, you will work self-sufficiently and autonomously, empowering you to make a real difference in your clients' lives.

We value and respect the deep one-on-one bond you establish with the families you care for. Of course, if you need anything, your Director of Clinical Services is only a phone call away we offer 24-hour, 365-day support and on-demand clinical resources.
