I'm 25 years old, living with family in San Ramon, and hiring caregivers to help cover daytime and nighttime shifts. I don’t need you to have any prior knowledge or training in caregiving settings—just be willing to learn! Beginner friendly and entry level.
All training required is offered on the job and paid.
Job duties:
help bathing
help transferring to and from my wheelchair, the toilet chair, and my bed using a battery-powered Hoyer lift (extremely easy to learn to use, not complicated)
help dressing
help preparing food
light housework
transportation via OUR wheelchair-accessible van (we will pay for gas)
assist with my power soccer practices
assist with setting up for my hobbies (ex: painting, crafts, baking/cooking, Lego sets, videogames)
-
Hours and pay:
Daytime, nighttime, and overnight shifts are all currently available - very flexible right now. No live-in.
Paid only through In Home Support Services (IHSS) and Waiver Personal Care Services (WPCS). The rate in Contra Costa County is $19.33/hour.
If you haven’t worked with these payroll services before, we can discuss how they work once your application is submitted. We will guide you through the process of registering with them if you aren't already familiar. Both programs provide full back-pay to compensate for any delays in payment.

What I'm looking for:
Firm requirements:
Due to my medical vulnerabilities all applicants MUST have their up-to-date vaccinations for the flu, COVID-19, and measles.
If you absolutely cannot receive one or more of these vaccinations for medical reasons, you will be required to wear a mask on shift.
You will need to pass a driving background check before you drive our van.
Skills most appreciated:
punctuality/reliability
listening
proactivity once the routine is learned
spatial awareness
clear communication
flexibility on day-to-day tasks

Application process:
If the ad is up, I’m hiring. I value both of our time, and I want to make sure we both know what to expect.
Begin the process by applying via this form: https://form.jotform.com/243150847894062
You must complete the application to move on to the next step. Please do not contact me through Craigslist unless there is an issue with the application form and you need help. I am happy to get to know you once you've filled out an application!
Next: I will contact you about your application once it is submitted. If your application is approved, we will schedule a phone or Zoom interview. After that is an in-person interview at our home. Finally, you must successfully complete a paid trial shift. If all of these steps are completed and we both feel positive about you taking the position, you will be officially hired.

Thank you for your interest - I look forward to receiving your application!
