PERSONAL CARE ASSISTANT & DRIVER NEEDED
Caregivers are needed for a professional with Spinal Muscular Atrophy, type 2. I need one or two caregivers to work in my home and the community. I need help with transfers, dressing, showering, using the toilet, housekeeping, meal prep, and outings. I am an active 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 love trying out new recipes, listening to all kinds of music, watching movies, crafting, snuggling my dogs, and doing things outside. 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 and prioritizes this job.
