PCAs needed for month of July

Long Beach NY

Description

I am looking for physically strong non-smoking women to assist me with all aspects of personal care and daily living for several 24 hour shifts weekdays or weekends. Each shift starts at 9 AM and ends 9 AM the next day. For example, you come in at 9 AM say on a Thursday, help me throughout the day, help me get to bed at night (I am a bit of a night person) then you can sleep wake up when I need assistance during the night. You do not have to stay awake overnight but have to be a light sleeper to hear a call button and respond accordingly. 9 AM the next morning is the end of your shift. You can do as many days as you wish per week. You get paid for every hour you work. I'm an active 61 year old woman who lives with my husband. I need assistance with all aspects of my personal care. I also need someone who can drive me in my van. I work part-time as a singer/songwriter and disability consultant, and enjoy spending time with my husband, friends, and family. I like cooking, writing music, watching movies, reading, computer work, gardening, outdoor activities and such. I am a responsible employer with 40 years of experience hiring, training, and working with my assistants. I am looking for responsible, organized, careful, and meticulous people who respect my home and privacy. Personal Care does not only mean things like taking the person to the bathroom, it means assisting a person with a disability to do the things they would normally do themselves if they did not have a disability. I have my own private life, feelings and interests. I am one of those people with a disability that you may see at your job, or out to dinner, or at the beach. I live a very independent fulfilling life because I have Personal Assistants to help me. I am not looking for a companion - to do this job well you must be able to physically assist me and at the same time give me the privacy and space I and my loved ones need to function normally. I need you to, in a way, let me borrow your hands to help me do things my own way. I am married and my husband and I require the same privacy as any other couple would.
