Needed Immediately: P/T Caregiver to Help Elderly Woman In Her Home

Ideal situation for Moms or Retired Women looking for regular part-time work!

Family looking for a female caregiver for an elderly woman who lives in her own apartment in the Hannawa Falls area but needs assistance with certain home and personal care tasks due to medical limitations. The woman is on oxygen and fully competent. There are no mental limitations. She can bathe and clean herself, walks using a walker but has limited mobility due to breathing issues. However, there is no lifting involved. She simply needs assistance getting in and out of bed, her recliner, getting to and from the bathroom, and into and out of a tub.

The ideal candidate will be an older female who can build a relationship with the woman and improve her quality of life by providing loving, caring assistance. Your goal will be to help the woman enjoy life by helping her perform their simple daily functions; light exercise; meal prep, social interactions and housekeeping. It is our hope that your compassion and diligence as a caregiver will bring joy into this woman’s life and help her feel encouraged, involved and loved. You must have dependable transportation and be committed to showing up for work on-time each day.

We understand how difficult it can be to find a job that balances your time with school, kids, or other priorities. We’ll do our best to provide flexible options that work with your schedule. Ideally, we are looking for someone to come in 3 hrs/day, 5-7 days a week from 11:00am-2:00pm. More hours may be available as warranted.

If you’re a female who’s had a job or experience in a position with similar goals and responsibilities, we’d love to connect with you. We’re looking for an individual that is compassionate, social, trustworthy and service-minded. If you have experience cooking, cleaning or caring for others, that’s a bonus!

This is an independent work position, so we’re looking for individuals that are self-motivated and willing to learn through experience and receiving feedback.

Responsibilities would include:

Assistance with walking within the home by assisting with her walker when getting out of bed in the morning and helping her move around the home. Helping her into and out of the bathtub where she can bathe herself.

Preparing snacks and simple, calorie specific meals to help sustain and satisfy her for the day; these will be small, simple meals, food and cooking instructions provided.

Encouraging and assisting her with a light exercise routine ordered by physical therapy (standing up, stretches, very short walks in the home) to keep the client active and physically moving.

Tidying up the house and helping with basic housekeeping tasks such as making the bed, doing laundry as needed, vacuuming, and other cleaning that keeps the home environment neat and enjoyable for her.

Compensation: Pay is $20/hour, paid weekly. You are responsible for your own transportation to and from work. For now, we are looking for assistance in the home 3 hours a day 6-7 days a week from the hours of 11am-2pm, although slight adjustments to this schedule are possible. Hours, and services needed, may increase as need increases over time.

Understanding that people need time off, we would consider hiring either one person for this position or possible 2 people to split the hours.

Looking for someone to start immediately.
