Need a Personal Care Assistant/Light Housekeeper

NE 23rd St near Post, Oklahoma City OK

Description

I am a 44-year-old below-knee amputee, and have been approved to hire a Personal Care Assistant (PCA) through the OKDHS Advantage Plan for 7 hours per week (I could probably get it bumped up to between 8 and 10 hours, if needed)*. I am not sure what the pay is, but believe it to be between $10-$13/hr. Hours are extremely flexible, afternoon/evenings preferred (I am NOT a morning person). Hours can be split between as few as 2 days or as many as 4 days. Job involves light housekeeping such as vacuuming, straightening up, taking out trash, cleaning the bathroom, doing dishes, light meal prep, helping me organize the house etc., and running errands such as small grocery shopping trips and laundry at the laundromat. To be honest, errand-running will likely be a small, infrequent part of the job. No home health, medical, or personal hygiene related services will be involved. Qualified applicants need to be honest, trustworthy, discreet, drug free, capable of lifting up to 20lbs, bending, reaching, etc., have own transportation (mileage/gas money not provided), and be willing to work in the Choctaw/Spencer area (near 23rd aad Post). A sense of humor doesn't hurt (Did you hear about the two television antennas that got married? The wedding wasn't much, but the reception was awesome!). References, personal or professional, are a big plus, as is a current Covid vaccination, as well as flu and pneumonia vaccination (I am considered medically high-risk due to diabetes). Must like or at least be able to tolerate cats and be a non-smoker (or willing to smoke outside) who is able to stand e-cigarette vapor. Although I will always be present, ability to work independently is also a must. *(Side note: My neighbor is working on getting qualified for a PCA as well, and anyone I hire would have a good chance to be able to pick up her hours once she gets approved as well, if interested.)
