I am looking for someone interested in watching my mom from 10 p.m. - 8 a.m. for the two weeks we will be at our summer cottage on the lake in Pointe Aux Barques, MI this summer. July 8- July 22

My Mom is a cute, smart, lively 86 year old with Alzheimers. She is 5'2" tall and 100 lbs and quite agile. She can still carry a conversation and understands what's going on but she is in a sundowning stage which has her waking up often during the night, sometimes imagining things going on or just to use the bathroom.

When she wakes up she needs a kind, gentle caregiver with her who can orient her to where she is, reassure or redirect her when she wakes up confused, and mostly accompany her to the bathroom where she sometimes can't remember how to get her pajama pants down, what to do with the toilet paper etc.

We use an alert mat with remote monitor such that you can be sitting outside her room and just go in when the monitor signals that she has gotten out of bed.

Ideal candidate would be a woman at least 30 years old or older with a CNA license and/or experience working with Alzheimers. You must have a car. Be 100% dependable. And have a good sense of humor.

Pay is $15/hr for 10 hours a night. Shift will be 10 p.m. - 8 a.m. daily. We are also open to however many days you could do. Doesn't have to be 7 days straight. Bonus of additional $150 paid at end of two weeks if all goes well.

Contact Beth in Hawaii for details and to set up an interview. Hawaii is 6 hours earlier than Michigan. So don't contact me first thing in the morning MI time. Not until at least 2 p.m. MI time.
