Help Wanted - Personal Care Provider (PT)
Do you love people? Do you find it rewarding to make a difference in people’s lives? Do you want to be treated with respect and appreciation? I'm a partially disabled artist, social justice and environmental justice activist who needs help with cooking, light housekeeping, bathing and dressing, errands, and cat petting. No heavy lifting.
$22/hour to start. I request at least a 4-hour-a-week commitment minimum. I also pay an extra $3.22/hour into FICA (social security and Medicare), FUTA (federal unemployment tax), SUTA (state unemployment tax), and workmen’s comp which brings the wage to $25.22/hour.
Do you enjoy art and stimulating conversation? I'm a longtime multimedia artist and mystic, and I was previously a physicist. I'm gluten-free and vegan. I live in north Boulder in a sunny, non-toxic apartment with my cat, maidenhair ferns, art supplies, and finished projects on the walls. I value a positive, upbeat attitude and reliability. Cooking and cleaning are important yet undervalued skills in this culture, and for me they are essential, so I’m appreciative and respectful of my caregivers. I love to laugh, and it can get quite whimsical around here.
I have allergies to smoke and scented products, so I need assistance from an organized, neat, hygienic, fragrance-free (this means you use unscented hair and body products, unscented laundry soap etc), and pleasant non-smoker who knows how to cook healthy foods according to my recipes. I also need help with dressing and personal hygiene so I’m looking for women to help me. Because I have a compromised immune system, wearing a mask while here is required. You should also have a car or use the bus to shop for me occasionally. This may not be the most glamorous of jobs, but you get to make a real difference in someone’s life which makes the world a better place.
Women only please. In your reply, please tell me about your qualifications and interests and send me your resume and phone number so I can contact you. Then we can chat by phone or Zoom and take it from there. With your help, I can thrive and continue to help others (trauma survivors). Thanks!
