Hey! My name is Natalie. I am a disabled, film school graduate, and I’m looking to hire 3-4 awesome people to join my team of assistants. You do NOT need to have previous experience working with people with disabilities. You just need to be willing to help! I am a 29 year old with Muscular Dystrophy. This is a part-time job that’s great for students or to fit in between other obligations or jobs. Although, it can also be a part-time or full-time job if needed! I’m looking to fill weekday and weekend shifts. The schedule is created around the availability the employee submits at the start of employment. This job includes helping me get in and out of bed, showering, cooking, cleaning, etc. Basically anything you do on a daily basis, I need help with as well. I depend on my assistants to live and thrive, so this job requires a lot of maturity and responsibility and, most importantly, open communication. I'm typically looking for someone who’s open-minded, social, fun, and reliable.
A little bit about me: I moved to LA after graduating college and to pursue a career in screenwriting and directing. I’m very social and love going to concerts, hiking on wheelchair accessible trails, hanging out with friends, reading, writing, and playing with my service dog. I'm funny (people tell me that at least haha), and I love to listen to music and attend concerts.
Some additional information: The applicant must be available at least 1 to 3 days per week, but if you're available more than 3 days per week that's great, too. Regular work schedules depend on applicant's availability, so the job can accommodate class schedules or a second job! Responsibilities include assisting with cooking, housekeeping, accompanying me to community activities/work, assisting me, assisting with dressing, make-up, combing/styling hair, bathing/ showering, ADLs, and assisting with various tasks throughout the day, etc. The applicant will need to assist during occasional in and out of state travel and vacations. The ideal applicant would enjoy attending concerts, movies, events, museums, being outside, and traveling. They would be organized, dog lover, good driver, adaptable, reliable, punctual, hard worker that is able to work independently. The applicant must be able to transfer/lift me after being trained. Some COVID precautions required. I'm located near The Grove/Park La Brea.
You would also have a reserved parking spot and health benefits are available to those that work 74 or more hours per month. If you're interested, message me and we can discuss it in further detail. Previous experience working with people with disabilities is NOT required, you just need to be willing to help!
If you're interested, please send me a short paragraph about yourself, resume, availability, and contact information. I will check references before hiring. Driver's license required and must be able to legally work in the USA.
