Do you enjoy taking care of people, need a little extra money, and have time to get in an hour first thing in the morning or evenings? Can you help me, p-l-e-a-s-e?
I am in immediate need of help. My current wonderful helper has been coming every day and needs an occasional break.
I'm looking for someone who can work ONE hour in the mornings and ONE hour in the evenings on alternate weekends, and be there for backup for emergencies. This can be done before and after a daytime job. Once I am dressed and in my wheelchair, I can pretty much take care of myself.
I am a retired female schoolteacher, have been paralyzed and in a wheelchair since 1999, but am now teaching part-time at a private Christian school. I try to remain as independent and active as possible, I try so hardbut still need a little help.
I need a dependable, punctual, and kind, private female caregiver who preferably has experience - but I can train you
