Looking for someone for a personal care attendant, to do light housework, organizing, cleaning and other tasks for me in our home.
I am disabled and live in a small farmhouse with my wife. We have 2 cats, and it is minor cleaning and upkeep most of the time, but also deep cleaning as needed, maybe every 6 weeks, depending. Someone will be coming in to shower me 3 days a week, so that is taken care of. There is a list of duties at the end of this. I had a stroke last January and lost sight in my left eye, diminished feeling on the left side, and a hard time with short term memory and every day tasks.
We live on Saint Clair Hill Rd, between Baker's Ridge and West Run roads.
Work would be every week about 28 hours a week, or 56 hours every 2 weeks depending on your preferences. Looking at about 120 hours a month, 30 hours a week (6 hours a day, 5 days a week is preferred). You can make your own schedule on days and hours. That is very flexble.
You do not need to have a driver's license.
