We are seeking 1 or 2 responsible, experienced, kind, and reliable weekend and fill-in caregivers for a senior man with dementia. The client can bathe and feed himself and is reasonably mobile. No bathroom help is required. No overnight stays required.
Shifts:
Saturday and Sunday and as needed to cover illness and other absences
10:00 AM - 3:00 PM
3:00 PM - 8:00 PM
- Meal prep and clean up (mid-morning and evening)
- Companionship
- Light cleaning
- Making sure cats are fed and litter is clean
- Making sure client goes to bed
The client tends to say "help, help, help" when he gets confused, so just hanging out, helping him choose something to watch on TV (he loves science fiction) and making conversation is important. You can bring a book, phone, laptop, or tablet, but be in the same space, answer when he asks questions or needs help, but when conversation falters or he falls asleep, you can do personal work or read, etc.
His primary caregiver (Monday-Friday) will train you and may be contacted (if available) if you have questions.
Application required
Criminal background check required
Three references required
You can also upload your resume and/or cover letter.
