Palomita home care needed

We need a palomita (care giver) with experience in caring for the elderly. We have an 81 year old lady (in Laredo) who is in need of home care. She is recovering from oral cancer surgery/radiation and chemo. Doctors have temporarily inserted a feeding tube directly to her stomach where she’s fed with pre-prepared liquid meals through the tube. It’s not difficult to feed her once you get the hang of it. She does not have dementia or any other disability, she is just currently physically weak and needs to be watched over. We’re hoping this is temporary until she gets better. Her husband 79 years old lives with her and is currently taking care of her, feeding her, helping her, but they need help.

What we need:

Shifts needed - morning, afternoon, nights and weekends. 7 days a week.

Help walking around the house so she doesn’t fall.

Feeding through a feeding tube. We have her liquid meals already prepared. No need to prep meals for this.

Showering - every now and then.

Giving her pain medication when needed which is every 4-6 hours. Some pills have to be crushed and mixed into her already prepared liquid meals.

Someone with basic medical experience and or nurses or assistant nurses is a PLUS!

Someone who can be there all day, but we are willing to work out a schedule and/or shifts.

Someone with their own transportation.

Someone who speaks Spanish.

Someone who can start as soon as possible.

We pay by the hour (private, not through insurance) depending on experience.

Hablamos español.

Thank you.
