I am a disabled man who can’t do anything for myself physically. I’m looking for someone who can work as a live-in weekend home attendant this summer, starting immediately and working through the weekend of August 9-11.
No experience is necessary.
The job duties include, but are not limited to, the following tasks:
· Bathing and showering
· Getting me dressed
· Transferring me and out of the wheelchair with a ceiling lift (which I would teach you how to use)
· Emptying urine bags and cleaning a catheter tube
· Stretching of my limbs
· Therapeutic massage
· Turning and positioning in bed
· Giving me a sleep apnea mask at night
· Feeding me
· Some cooking
· Laundry
· Cleaning of areas that you use or use on my behalf
· Running local errands
· Accompanying me should I wish to leave the house (I can drive my own power chair)
I have been disabled for many years and I will teach you how to do all of these things and how to do them in the manner that I wish.
Additionally, I would prefer candidates who are the following:
· Quiet
· deferential
· attentive
· punctual
· careful followers of instructions
· focused on my needs
· compassionate
· bright
· able to be physically active and focused when there is work to be done
· comfortable with late or long hours
· clean & neat regarding their surroundings
· easy to get along with
This is a live-in position for the weekends. The person who is hired will come to my home on Fridays at 1 PM and stay until Sunday evenings at 10:30 PM.
I live with my mother and siblings. We also have a dog who is sweet and older. I say this to inform applicants who may be allergic.
There is the possibility of longer-term work, but my priority right now is getting someone who can do the weekends through August 11.
