Im seeking a caregiver or intern to train to caretake and mostly be a companion to a single woman (66yr old) who has schizo-affective bipolar history. This woman is brilliant sweet creative loves animals especially and enjoys crafts fabric arts crotchet knitting and even piano. She is active and used to show AKC dogs.
My client and myself are looking to fill my role and build a support system and team for her.
The ideal candidate for this would be a young active companion person with an understanding of mental health needs and issues with patients. Certified preferred.
Available 4-6 plus hours per day, 2-5 days/week with potential for full time. Eventually looking for two or three people for these positions, so client stays busy and has care. Potentially on-call. Someone who is flexible with their time or has a few hours daytime/daily to spend time with patient/client.
The goal is to build this team and connect her with community and routine while teaching her everyday life skills and fostering relationships. Someone who knows and understands schizoaffective/bipolar characteristics.
