Hello, We are two households, each in need of part time care, able to provide full time hours by no later than September. It will be sporadic full time over the summer. We are looking for someone who enjoys being busy. We require a non smoker. Applicants can be male or female. My father has cancer and depression. He was a brilliant man who has now been cognitively slowed by cancer medication. With cognitive stimulation, he comes back to us so we can't tell if it's early dementia, or just medication related challenges. His depression doesn't help, but he enjoys being up and out, once he's cajoled to do so. He's a big man (260 pounds or so), ambulatory, but needs to get out walking more. My mom needs help with daily cleaning, laundry, and generally watching him as he has a number of health procedures that he wouldn't do on his own - my mom is just exhausted after 3 years of caring for him and needs some time daily to get things done. We need someone familiar with rehabilitation- encouraging him to be as independent as possible, and knowing how to break up a task to get him to participate with success, so he wants to do more on his own. We have brain games on his t, but he won't play unless someone is with him. -We need someone who drives. We can provide the vehicle, but this is a must- please don't apply if you do not have a valid driver's license. There are a growing number of medical appointments, and he wants to get out for non medical activities, but he is not driving at present. -The ideal candidate would be someone who is technologically savy (help my mom when the printer doesn't work, or her phone gives her an error message she can't understand, or if she can't get onto her email, or how to get the TV to get onto netflix etc). We need someone who is ORGANIZED, who can see a mess, and put things back together. Someone who knows how to do deeper cleaning tasks, as well as tidying. - We need someone who is an ok cook. A great cook would be a bonus, but just to come home and have a healthy dinner on the is huge for us. We need someone capable of knowing what groceries are needed and able to pick them up and ensure we have everything. -Person must be health conscious, very positive, sincere desire to be helpful, creative and an independent problem solver. Mornings would be with my parents (they live in the condo a floor above us). (9:30- 1:30). Afternoons (2-6) would be at our place. I have 3 school aged children. We need daily tidying/cleaning, cooking (cooking one big meal enough for parents and my family). I appreciate help picking up the kids from school (it's a 10 minute drive away) a couple afternoons per week. If there is downtime, it can be spent making fresh pressed juice, We also need someone comfortable and engaging with kids. I work from home, so I need someone the kids will like, who can take them outside, and do some educational outtings/activities. children's ages are 5, 8, and 10 years.
