I am an adult quadriplegic seeking home health aids for weekend mornings. Experience in hands-on care and quadriplegics is preferred, but not necessary. The hours are:
Weekend morning caregiver: Saturday and Sunday, 8-11 AM
The starting pay rate for various certifications is:
CNA/caregiver/QMAP: $20
LPN: $30/hour
LVN: $35/hour
RN: $40/hour
After 90 days, you receive a $5/hour bump in pay ($25, $35, $40, $45, respectively), and you receive a bonus.
An ability to fill in for other weekday morning shifts throughout the week on rare occasions is greatly appreciated (all shifts are outside of regular working hours).
Training for all tasks is provided by a former caregiver.
Desired qualities:
Patience, efficiency, and eager to learn!
Some strength for slide board transfers (no lifting needed) and repositioning
Others describe me as kind and fun! I am a working engineer that enjoys the outdoors and time with family. My spinal cord injury is C4/5 level, so I have some arm mobility but no finger function. I can brush teeth, use a fork, and use a computer. Due to my lack of strength, I still need help with transferring, positioning, and the other tasks mentioned above.
If you’re interested in the position, please send me your resume and any questions. We can clear up a few questions by email, and then set up an interview if it seems like a good fit. Thanks for reading!
