ABOUT YOU:

My Daytime Caregiver(s) perform the important morning routine. Currently, this involves working with my arm that has an elbow contracture, giving me breakfast/feeding, shower/bed-bath, dressing, cleaning face and brushing hair, and other duties.

ABOUT ME:

I am an easy to get along with (most of the time) 70-year-old woman who became quadriplegic 13 years ago. I am mostly paralyzed from the neck down. My brain continues to refuse to accept that I can no longer engage in my pre-injury activities. Luckily, I am happy to do anything involving movement, including strengthening and stretching. I thrive on humor and laughing. I hope you do too!

You will know that you are engaging in truly purposeful work by helping one person who genuinely needs your help to both survive and thrive.

Physically healthy and strong

Valid driver's license, insurance and personal reliable transportation
