$16.00/hr - Holistic Female with Disability Needs Part-Time Caregiver

I'm an artistic, environmentally conscious woman with a disability in need of assistance with personal care and daily activities. I am looking for caring people to work in a calm and peaceful environment. My cross streets are Southern and Extension in West Mesa.

I have three positions available:

1.) MORNING: Saturday, Sunday and Monday from 8am until between 12:00 and 1:00pm

2.) MORNING: Tuesday-Friday from 8am until between 12:00 and 1:00pm

3.) EVENING: Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 8 pm until 11:00 pm (additional nights may be available if interested)

Note: there is some flexibility in the scheduled shifts for both the morning and night positions.

MORNING POSITIONS. The main duties are as follows:

Simple massage on my lower legs and back, getting me dressed and up using a Hoyer lift. Preparing the day's meals, assisting with breakfast, light house cleaning and hopefully some great conversation. As time allows some of the other duties may include: cooking, caring for plants, checking emails, mixing herbs and essential oils and various projects that may arise.

NIGHT POSITION. The main duties are as follows:

Hoyer lift transfer from wheelchair to bed, assisting with dinner, undressing, bowel care and partial bathing and hopefully some great conversation. As time allows some of the other duties may include: light massage on feet and legs, caring for house plants, laundry, and various projects that may arise.

Because of the personal nature of the job, I am looking for female caregivers only.

I realize the questions in the following section are personal and may sound invasive to some, so please excuse me for asking them. I need to do so because I'm very sensitive to a lot of man-made chemicals used in personal care and household products, especially those used to create fragrance. Essential oils and other plant-based botanicals may be okay. I'm happy to answer any questions you have about this.

IMPORTANT: For your application to be considered please specifically answer each of the questions below:

1. Do you smoke cigarettes?

2. Do you wear man-made perfume or scented body care products on a regular basis?

3. Do you use air fresheners or incense in your home or car?

4. Do you currently use scented laundry products?

5. Do you have your own washer and dryer? If so, can it be solely devoted to unscented products

during your employment here?

6. What are your cross streets and city?

This is a relaxed and informal atmosphere. I have deep respect for caregivers and you will be greatly appreciated here.

Good verbal and communication skills in English are required.

You must be reliable, thorough, able to keep a clean environment and have dependable transportation.

Serious replies only, no inquiries about temporary work, please. I'm looking for a few great people who plan on staying a while.

Thank you,

Valerie
