We are looking for a part-time attendant care/respite care worker for my son who is severely disabled with cerebral palsy.

The hours are 7:30 am to 10:30 am or 11:30 am Monday through Thursday, plus all day Fridays 7:30 to 4:00. This role could also include generally agreed-upon evenings and weekends. The current pay rate for Attendant Care is about $16.00, and Respite Care is about $15.50. The responsibilities of this role include assisting with toileting, g-tube feeds, lifting and transferring, stretching/daily exercises, maintaining a safe environment, and having fun. Teen has a deep love for all things Disney, so Disney fans, please apply.

At least 18 years of age.
Successful completion of a background check.
Completion of the required minimum training classes (approximately 10 hours, paid).
Ability to obtain an Arizona Department of Public Safety Level 1 Fingerprint Clearance card.
Access to a reliable car to and from our home.

If you are interested, please don't hesitate to reach out. I’d love to connect with you over a Zoom call to discuss the position in more detail. I can send the formal job description.
