CAREGIVER

CAREGIVER

Need caregiver for 2 overnight shifts per wk and some day shifts.

Hours 6pm - 10am. The particular nights of the week

will have to be coordinated with my other helpers.

I have ALS but I am mentally sharp. I use a ventilator 75% of the time.

Using homemade electric lifts, I need assistance transferring among

wheelchair, scooter, bed, shower bench, toilet.

I need showering and dressing.

During the night I need to be turned 5-10 times.

Other tasks include: simple food prep, and

range of motion stretching.

Prior experience is not as important as being a fast learner.

For this job, it is important that you are nimble and agile.

For example, getting up and down many times from the floor and working

in tight spaces. Moderate strength is needed for the transfers but

finesse is more important.

You must not be intimidated by homemade mechanical, electrical

and computer equipment.

Bonus if you are handy with simple tools or have computer skills.

Starting pay: $27/hr plus annual IRA and bonus contributions.
