I’m a female environmentally conscious artist with disabilities in need of assistance with personal care and daily activities. My hobbies include houseplants, gardening, pressing flowers, beading, collages and using herbs & essential oils. My cross-streets are Southern and Extension in West Mesa.
I am looking for caring people to work in a calm and peaceful environment. This is a relaxed and informal atmosphere. I have deep respect for caregivers and you will be appreciated here. Pervious care giving experience is not a requirement. I am willing to train. Good verbal and communication skills in English are required. You must be reliable, thorough, able to keep a clean environment, and have dependable transportation.
I don’t do well with man-made fragrances found in most laundry and body care products. Because of this I need to have caregivers use unscented or plant based products. I am willing to help with advice and some of the initial cost of switching to new products for those willing to change their products.
1.) MORNINGS: Saturday and Sunday from 8 am to 1 pm. It may be possible to change this to Sunday and Monday.
The main duties are as follows:
Simple bathing as needed, getting me dressed and up using a Hoyer lift. Preparing the day's meals, assisting with breakfast, light house cleaning and hopefully some great conversations. As time allows some of the other duties may include: cooking, checking emails, researching on the internet, online ordering and assisting with my hobbies.
2.) EVENING: The evening shift is from 8 pm to 11 pm. There are two positions available. The first is Saturday through Tuesday. The second is Wednesday through Friday. During the hiring process it may be possible to change how the days are split up.
The main duties are as follows:
Hoyer lift transfer from wheelchair to bed, assisting with dinner, undressing, bowel care and partial bathing and hopefully some great conversation. As time allows some of the other duties may include: light massage on feet and legs, laundry, light house cleaning and assisting with my hobbies.
Because of the personal nature of the job, I am looking for female caregivers only.
Serious replies only, no inquiries about temporary work, please. I'm looking for a few great people who plan on staying a while. If you feel like this job is a good fit for you, please give me a phone number along with the best days of the week and times to contact you. I look forward to learning about your experience and interests. Please note, I do not check my emails on the weekends.
Thank you,
Valerie
