Is it realistic to find caregiver jobs in Philadelphia without prior medical training?
I’ve been thinking about switching careers and looking into caregiver jobs in Philadelphia. I don’t have any formal medical training, but I’ve spent years helping my grandma — cooking for her, managing her meds, even helping her with mobility after her surgery. A friend mentioned that there are home care agencies that train people on the job, and now I’m curious. Is that actually a thing? Can you really get hired without a CNA or nursing background? I’d love to help people, but I’m not sure if my experience counts for anything officially.

Not in this field myself, but I’ve seen how important caregivers can be — especially when they’re kind and genuinely care. Honestly, real-life experience often goes further than a certificate. Cool to see people here considering it as a job path.
