Caregiver/Personal Care Assistant
Caregivers are needed for a professional with Spinal Muscular Atrophy, type 2 in Sherman, TX. I am hiring caregivers privately to avoid agency drama. I need help with all activities of daily living. I am an active power wheelchair user who works from home most of the day. When I go out, I need an assistant to drive me and provide assistance with care. I have my own accessible vehicle, but I need someone to drive. I have inside dogs. I'm married and, currently, my husband assists me with everything. This is a challenge for both of us. I need someone to work AM, PM, and weekend shifts. I am looking for someone with a good work ethic, a positive attitude, and a good sense of humor. I am a positive and patient person. I do not expect perfection and will work with someone who is really trying.
