Hello everyone! And thank you for taking the time to apply to my team! I was born in Denver, and grew up in Arizona and Colorado. I grew up having a passion for music and love for the outdoors. Some of my favorite things to do are listening to music, hanging out with friends, and spending time outdoors! I was listening to music while I was riding my mountain bike home from work I had just turned 26 three weeks earlier and I was going to the park to meet a friend. I am happy to say that I was doing three things that I love when I was paralyzed! I had a spinal cord injury which left my body unable to move. Now I need help doing everything, I need help to get dressed and I need help to eat and take my medication and I need help bathing. Now I am like a baby lol not quite what I had in mind when I turned 26. We take what we are given, and we do not complain. We stay positive and know that life is only going to get better from here!
Now I need help doing everything so I am hiring a private caregiver to help me do the things that I cannot do on my own. I am hiring someone to inspire me to go out and keep being social and keep going out with my friends and just being an all around Badass ha ha Did I say that I love rock music along with rap, techno, country, and music like "Angus and Julia Stone"!
I am hiring in the morning and evening.
Morning Time; – 8 AM - 1 PM or 9 AM - 2 PM. In the morning I start off by starting a pot of coffee and then I eat breakfast. After that I brush my teeth and take a shower. Then I will dry off and comb my hair. After that I will get dressed and then transfer to my wheelchair with an Electric powered lift.
Evenings 6:30 PM - 11:30 PM.
And the evenings I start off by eating dinner and then making sure to drink a lot of water. Then I will do some housekeeping maybe do some laundry. I will watch a movie while eat dinner I also make sure to do my range of motion stretches. At the end of the shift I will transfer from my wheelchair to bed with an electric powered lift. Then I will tuck myself into bed and drink some Sleepytime tea before I doze off to sleep. I am told that I look very peaceful while I am sleeping!

Oh my gosh I feel old now ha ha just kidding I am only 33 years old, and I feel and look like I am 26 years old when I was paralyzed at the park riding my bicycle.

I work with a program called CDASS (consumer directed attendant support services) and the payroll is done through a company called Palco.
I am looking for two people to work about 20-30 hours per week. I am going to split some of the shifts that I have available between the two people that I hire.
I was paralyzed from the chest down due to a mountain biking accident when I was coming home from work one day.
I have overcome many challenges in my life before I was paralyzed, including losing my son due to him being stillborn. My mom raised us and showed her children nothing but love and in response we grew up to be respectful and responsible children. I have met some great people along my journey, who have I have met some great people along my journey, who have I have learned a lot from. I believe that in life, “you can be bitter, or you can get better” I choose to get better.
