We are looking for a caregiver to look after our Mom.
Here is some information about Mom:
- 81 years old
- Approx. 200 lbs
- She is soft spoken, a gentle soul but particular in her ways
- Lives in her own home with our father (who is also elderly)
- Has broken her hip, leg, and spine in separate falls in the past so she has mobility issues and uses a walker
- Needs help getting in and out of chair/bed, climbing stairs, walking, moving objects
- Needs massage, assistance with bathing and incontinence
- Needs housekeeping, meal prep
- Needs help to get groceries
- Needs someone who is open to additional related duties as required.
You will be a successful caregiver if you have the following traits/qualifications/equipment:
- Clear criminal record within the last six months and an up-to-date mmunization record

- Gentle, patient, understanding, reliable, attention to detail, loves to work with the elderly, "big heart"
- Medical background preferred
