Caregiver Wanted
Single, single parent with a young child, young couple, retired, widowed? Allowed to work remotely? Struggling to get ahead in this economy? Trying to save money for a down payment? Looking for a change of pace or to spend a season in the Vail Valley? Do you have a passion likeskiing, hiking, making memories with your child, a business startup, continuing education, Amazon retailing, social media influencing, etc…then this might be a great opportunity for you!
I’m looking for a live-in caregiver for an adult male with ALS. Adult is mid-level (maintaining some independence but can use assistance with self care). Responsibilities include cooking, cleaning, assisting with self care, driving, being present during my parenting time, etc. Obviously I will need increasing levels of care as time goes on. Likely a 2 year horizon. My 10 year old daughter will be present 50% of the time as well.
In the short term, I’m looking for parenting time coverage and at least a commitment through the remaining school year. Long term, I'm looking for an old school caretaker/nanny/au pair role where you become part of the family.
The ideal candidate will be an energetic, self motivated, and confident individual who is proactive and solution oriented. Caregiving can be boring, so you must be ok with keeping yourself busy…but I also live in a nice townhome complex where you can build friendships and community to engage your extroverted side. Must pass a background check, have a valid driver’s license, and maintain sobriety during scheduled times. Ideally no drug use, tobacco or vaping. I’m ok with well behaved dogs, but I’m allergic to cats.
Benefit package will be customized and based on the candidate’s needs. Free rent if housing is needed (private studio), a bedroom suite if only overnight accommodations are needed for parenting time coverage, utilities, monthly stipend, possible long term inheritance incentive, use of a vehicle, and meals may be ingredients in your benefits package. You will also have time, mentorship and support to pursue your passions and better position yourself for attaining your future goals.
The current parenting schedule is an alternating weekly schedule:Week 1 Wednesday & Thursday 3-7pm starting with school pickup. Week 2 is the same as week 1 with the addition of a school pickup on Friday at 12pm with custody until 7pm Sunday. My daughter will stay overnight on my parenting days if there is no school the following day. Summers are: Week 1 Wednesday morning to Friday morning and Week 2 Wednesday morning until Monday morning.
