Volunteers Wanted - to help me find the help/caregivers I need

McMinn Ave near Delport, Santa Rosa CA

Description

Hello! Would you possibly have some time to help me? I need help finding the assistance/care I need. Maybe you could help me by posting advertisements and/or by screening applicants? Or to help me with the typing and documents I need for my doctor's appointments? And, if you'd prefer, we can do all this by phone or email! I'm a 61-year-old female who has been struggling with health issues since I was 30 years old. I'm an artist that grew up in Berkeley, traveled the world for nine years, got Hemorrhagic Dengue Fever, and then never got better again. From 2012 to 2019, I was almost completely bed-bound, but I'm doing a bit better now and am trying to find someone to help me in my home - to help me catch up and to be able to try and move forward. In other words, I need a 'caregiver' - but they don't need the nursing/elderly care experience, and there's no 'personal care' requirements, so really it's more of an assistant in my home - to cook, clean, and do some administrative and patient advocate tasks. I'd like to find someone who is organized and likes to keep things super clean, has experience cooking healthy meals (simple, all organic, without any processed foods), that can help with typing/dictation, doctor's appointments, and staying on top of the schedule. I do have an extra room in my two-bedroom apartment, that I could offer to the right person for a live-in position, but the position is also available w/o it being live-in. This is through IHSS (which is just a matter of signing up - and I can help with that), is 20 hours per week, and pays 16.50 per hour. I've been looking for a while, but it can be really difficult to find the right person, especially with the limited amount of energy I have. It would be so great to find someone who could help me with this! Thank you so much!
