Why Caregivers Choose 24 HOUR Home Care NJ in Bergen County

Bergen County is one of New Jersey’s most populated and economically prosperous counties — and one of the most active home care employment markets in the state. With four major hospital systems (HUMC, Valley Hospital, Englewood Health, and Holy Name MC), Bergen County generates enormous volume of discharge referrals, post-acute care needs, and long-term private-pay clients. Towns like Ridgewood, Glen Rock, Wyckoff, and Englewood are home to high-net-worth families who prefer premium, agency-backed care over independent aides — creating opportunities for caregivers seeking consistent, well-compensated placements. Bergen County’s proximity to New York City also means many clients are former metropolitan-area professionals accustomed to high standards. Overnight, live-in, and dementia-specialist positions are especially in demand.

Afternoon job in Westwood: how far is it from your town?

We are hiring a companion caregiver or CHHA for 1 PM to 5 PM, 5 to 7 days a week, in the Westwood area, starting Monday, November 9. Pay is $25 per hour total, which includes travel reimbursement, paid weekly. See the full job and apply, or call or text (908) 912-6342.

Here is what the trip looks like from nearby towns. Drive times are typical early afternoon times and can run longer in traffic.

From Westwood

If you already live in Westwood, the job is close to home. Most of the borough is a few minutes by car, and many streets are walkable. The $20 travel reimbursement still applies each shift when you log your miles.

From Hillsdale

Hillsdale borders Westwood, so the drive is usually about 5 minutes. The Pascack Valley train line also runs one stop between Hillsdale and Westwood. Keep the ticket and you get the $20 travel reimbursement for that shift.

From Emerson

Emerson sits just south of Westwood, about 6 minutes by car along Kinderkamack Road. It is one stop on the Pascack Valley line as well. Every shift pays $20 toward your travel with a mileage log or a transit receipt.

From River Vale

River Vale is east of Westwood, usually about 8 minutes by car. There is no train station in River Vale, so this one works best for drivers. Log the round trip and you receive the $20 travel reimbursement each day you work.

From Washington Township

Washington Township is on the west side of Westwood, about 8 minutes by car. A 1 PM start means you miss the school pickup traffic on the way in. Your $20 travel reimbursement is paid with each weekly check.

From Paramus

From Paramus the drive is about 15 minutes, mostly north on Route 17 or Kinderkamack Road. At 1 PM the Route 17 shopping traffic is usually light. You get $20 per shift toward gas, on top of $20 an hour.

From Bergenfield

Bergenfield to Westwood is about 15 minutes by car through Dumont and Oradell. It is an easy local drive with no highway needed. Each shift adds $20 travel reimbursement, so a 4 hour shift pays $100.

From Hackensack

From Hackensack it is about 20 minutes by car. Without a car, the Pascack Valley train runs from the Hackensack stations straight to Westwood. Bring the transit receipt and the $20 travel reimbursement is added for that shift.

From Teaneck

Teaneck to Westwood is about 20 minutes, heading north through New Milford and Oradell. Leaving around 12:30 PM gets you there on time. We add $20 travel reimbursement to every shift you work.

From Englewood

Englewood is about 25 minutes from Westwood by car. It is a reasonable afternoon drive with light traffic before the evening rush. With the $20 travel reimbursement, each 1 PM to 5 PM shift pays $100.

From Garfield

From Garfield the trip is about 25 minutes by car, north on Route 17 or the Garden State Parkway. This works best for caregivers who drive. Log your miles and receive $20 toward travel every shift.

From Lodi

Lodi to Westwood is about 25 minutes by car, with an easy connection to Route 17 north. You finish at 5 PM, before most of the evening rush on 17 builds up. The $20 travel reimbursement is paid weekly with your hours.

From Paterson

From Paterson the drive is about 30 minutes, heading east and then north through Bergen County. If that fits your day, the $20 travel reimbursement each shift helps cover the gas. Drivers are strongly preferred for this job.
