Hi! I am a disabled 44-year-old woman living near Lake Mission Viejo, and I am hiring four live-in personal/nursing assistants to begin immediately or as late this July/August. I drive a power wheelchair for mobility, but cannot move my hands and need help with all of my personal care and other daily activities. This job is ideal for newer caregivers who are looking to get nursing/caregiving work experience, who need affordable housing for just themselves, and who want a part time job with stable income but more days off than a standard job.
*There may also be an option for one live-out position; more information can be given about this option upon request.
Job details:
- No experience is necessary, but applicants must have certification as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) or Home Health Aide (HHA).
- Paid training will be provided during an initial trial period for all new hires.
- Each caregiver will assist me for 30-35 hours/week and have half of their days off (i.e. work 7 days every 2 weeks in a rotating schedule).
- Each caregiver will work some daytime assistant shifts and some morning/evening personal/nursing care shifts (with some overnight call responsibilities - you can sleep but need to be available by phone to help me with any occasional overnight needs).
- Compensation includes (1) a regular paycheck, (2) private use of an upstairs bedroom in my house, (3) covered utilities/cable/wifi, and (4) shared use of two upstairs bathrooms, the downstairs kitchen/common areas, and the back patio/yard. The total value of this compensation is equivalent to $18-23/hour (with your exact rate dependent on your certification and experience). I live in a safe, quiet neighborhood, with mountain views and Lake Mission Viejo privileges.
Job requirements:
- Must have a CNA or HHA certification.
- Must have adequate strength and physical fitness to help another assistant complete two-person transfers to move me from my bed to my wheelchair (I weigh 120 lbs).
- Must be dependable, kind, compassionate, and enjoy helping others.
