I am a quadriplegic seeking a weekend caregiver. Experience in hands-on care and quadriplegics is preferred, but not necessary. This is a great opportunity for medical students and others experienced in medical fields looking for consistent, part-time work outside of regular business hours.
Tasks include range of motion, hygiene, skilled bowel and catheter care, transfer/positioning, exercise, and minor housekeeping. Training is provided.
Desired qualities:
Patience, efficiency, and eagerness to learn!
Some strength for slide board transfers (no lifting needed) and repositioning
Safe approach during current coronavirus environment
The position is part-time with 10.5 hours per week, paid biweekly. An ability to fill in for other shifts throughout the week on rare occasions is greatly appreciated (all shifts are outside of regular working hours).
Weekends position hours:
Saturday-Sunday – 8 AM-11 AM
Saturday 9:30 PM-10:30 PM
Sunday – 7:30 PM-10:30 PM
Others describe me as kind and fun! I am a working engineer that enjoys the outdoors and time with family. Other interests include music, technology, and quad-friendly drone flying. My spinal cord injury is C4/5 level, so I have some arm mobility but no finger function. I can brush teeth, use a fork, and use a computer. Due to my lack of strength, I still need help with transferring, positioning, and the other tasks mentioned above. A picture of me is included as well.
The position starts at $18/hour, with the possibility for an increase with significant prior experience. If you’re interested, please send me your resume and any questions. We can clear up a few of our questions by email, and then set up an interview if it seems like a good fit. Thanks for reading!
