PERSONAL CARE ASSISTANT & DRIVER NEEDED

Personal Care Assistant & Driver Needed

Personal Care Assistants are needed for a professional with Spinal Muscular Atrophy, type 2 in Sherman, TX. I need one or two assistants to work in my home and the community. 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 care as needed. 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, and snuggling my dogs. 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.

Wage: $15 per hour. Pay is bi-weekly and negotiable. I will also provide small bonuses at least twice annually. The Assistant will be provided with a Pay Schedule as well as a Shift Schedule upon hire.
