Caregiver Needed For Myself In Sammamish, Starts Mid November
Please read this description all the way through before applying. I realize I am applying pretty early as the job will not start until mid-November. I am looking for a long-term caregiver; my last 2 caregivers were with me for 2 - 3 years each.
I'm looking for a caregiver for myself, I am in my early 60s and have paralysis due to a spinal cord injury, and am in a power wheelchair. Besides lack of mobility, I am in good condition both physically and mentally. I primarily need assistance getting up in the morning (which includes breakfast, shower or bowel program, transferring using a Hoyer, dressing, mobility stretching, hygiene assistance), and getting to bed in the evening (much quicker (about 2 hours) includes hygiene, undressing, transferring, stretching). Your responsibilities will also include light housekeeping, running errands, and transportation (doctor's appointments, errands, etc.). Caregiver must be a non-smoker, comfortable with pets and CPR / first-aid trained, and is in reasonably close proximity (within 30 minutes) to be available for occasional afternoon appointments. Current CNA or HCA certification required.
I am looking for assistance a minimum of 5 mornings a week, and 5 nights a week, more if you like. These can be any of the days of the week, and don't have to be together.
We also occasionally travel, both by car and by air, so you must be available for 1 to 2 week trips. While traveling, we use a stand/pivot or slide board transfer, so strong preference for a male or strong female.
