Seeking in-home care for elderly woman

San Francisco CA

Description

We're seeking a reliable, motivated caregiver with prior experience helping wheelchair-bound patients. The shifts are Thursday - Sunday 9:30am-9:30pm. The job is helping one elder woman with all physical functions, including getting dressed, bed/wheelchair transfers, toilet, simple stretching & exercises, meal prep, showers, going outside for a walk, and laundry. Most of the rest of the time she reads, eats, naps, chats with friends on the phone, or watches videos on her computer. She likes to go outside for a grocery run or a walk every other day or so. Experience with elder or special needs is a must. Good skills with either English or Russian is a requirement. You'll need to know how to prepare simple healthy meals using ingredients available in the fridge. Some physical strength and ability is required - she weighs about 105 pounds and is 5’2” and you would need to feel comfortable performing transfers and pushing her wheelchair. There is a Hoyer lift in the room if necessary. You will receive training for the first couple of days and after that, independent work is expected.
