28-year old with Muscular Dystrophy Seeking Personal Care Attendants

I am a 28 year old male with Muscular Dystrophy and wheelchair user and I'm looking for responsible and compassionate people to assist me with my activities of daily living both during the week and weekends and during the day and overnight. I am looking for people who can do a few overnights and I'm looking for someone to start in late October.

This could be a great opportunity for a student particularly interested in pursuing a healthcare profession or making career shifts.

For my morning routine, I'll need help with:

-Transferring between bed, toilet, shower chair, and wheelchair using a Hoyer lift

-Dressing

During the day and evening, I'll need help with:

-Using the bathroom (hand held urinal)

-Basic meal prep

-Helping me get to work and elsewhere me

-The daytime shift will have lots of downtime as I will be working. I will need someone on a more on call basis. This could be a great opportunity for a student

For the night routine, I'll need help with:

-Transferring into bed

-Assist with bathroom (hand held urinal)

-Helping me to put on CPAP mask

-Repositioning several times per night

The daytime shifts on weekdays and weekends will have considerable down time during the day as I will need help on a more on call basis.

Preference for current or future student in a medically-related career (e.g. nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, social work, pre-medicine, special education).

Applicants do not need any particular work experience or background in personal care, just willingness to learn.

Reference checks will be done.

Must be able to legally able to work in the United States. I cannot hire you if you do not have U.S. work authorization to work for any employer.
