Can I deduct my miles driven from home to my client's home when working as a self employed caregiver?

Yes- If you consider your home to be your home office, then any work related miles drive outside your home would be considered deductible business miles.

I do all my documentation, planning and scheduling from home but I don't claim an home office because I don't have a exclusive room/ space designated for work. Can I still claim the miles to my first client?

It depends but if you actually don't have a workspace with your employer, you can still claim the mileage even though you cannot claim the home office deduction as long as you do all your work related planning at your home.
