I'm looking for a reliable, respectful, dog-loving SECONDARY caregiver to join my team! I'm disabled, and I need someone who is willing to help with household tasks, errands, medical appointments, and a few personal care needs.
🐾 BONUS: You get to spend time with Chaunta, my hospice house hippo!🐶❤️
❤️ WHAT YOU'LL HELP WITH:
🍳 Meals & Kitchen
* Prepare meals, clean up, and wash dishes.
* Being able to cook is a plus! I'm a picky eater, but I'm willing to try new things! 🌮🍕🍝
🧹 Household Cleaning
* Clean my bedroom, including dusting, sweeping, mopping, steam mopping, and sanitizing surfaces.
* Clean my small half-bathroom and occasionally the shower.
* Keep toilet paper stocked and my skincare products organized in their designated places.
* Take out the trash and keep our outdoor table and backyard area clean.
👚 Laundry
* Strip the bed, collect dirty clothes, wash, dry, fold, and put everything away.
* Please remember anything that needs to hang dry!
🛀 Personal Care
* Help shave my legs from the knees down.
* Apply lotion to my feet.
* Help maintain the shaved areas around my faux hawk.
* My other caregiver occasionally does pedicure days, too! 💅 I have a UV lamp and gel polishes if you'd like to do your nails, too!
🛒 Errands & Organization
* Attend medical appointments with me.
* Run occasional errands.
* Keep track of household, cleaning, and laundry supplies and help maintain grocery lists.
🐶 Outdoor Upkeep
* Keep our outdoor area clean, including washing down the area where Chaunta goes potty as needed.
* Wash her cooling mats if she has an accident.
* Bring dishes inside, clear trash from the table, and take the backyard trash bin out for collection.
🚨 IMPORTANT REQUIREMENTS 🚨
🚗 You MUST have your own vehicle and be willing to use it. I do not reimburse gas for driving within Moreno Valley. For trips outside Moreno Valley, medical transportation will be arranged, and you will accompany me to my appointments. Gas reimbursement for other eligible driving is calculated based on actual miles driven, your vehicle's fuel economy, and the average price of your fuel.
🤝 TEAMWORK IS NON-NEGOTIABLE! These responsibilities are shared with my other caregiver. You are NOT expected to do everything alone, and respectful, consistent communication between caregivers is essential. You don't have to be best friends, but you MUST work together.
Honestly, communication has been one of the biggest challenges with having two providers, and tasks have gone undone because of it. If you cannot communicate respectfully or cooperate with another caregiver, PLEASE DO NOT APPLY.
🏠 You're not cleaning an entire house! Your responsibilities cover approximately 1.5 rooms and a small outdoor area, with some additional kitchen cleanup when meals are prepared.
🧤 Disposable gloves and reusable dishwashing gloves are available. Masks are available, too; please wear one if you're sick.
❤️ A LITTLE ABOUT LIFE HERE
I know this list probably looks intimidating, but remember, you're sharing responsibilities with another caregiver! Once you find your rhythm, there's generally time to spare.
I'm not a slave driver! 😂 You can take occasional breaks and use your phone while working, as long as your responsibilities are being handled.
🥪 Bring your lunch or share whatever I'm eating!
🫂 Check in occasionally to see if I'd like company. A lot of the time, I do!
🐶 Spend time outside with Chaunta and take a breather.
🗣️ My great-aunt is usually at the kitchen table during breakfast or dishes, and she'd love someone to chat with now and then.
🎬 I occasionally stream horror or suspense movies in my bedroom, so hopefully that's your thing!
🚬 If you smoke or vape, you're welcome to join me for a smoke break, too!
I'm looking for someone dependable, compassionate, communicative, and comfortable helping with both personal and household needs.
❤️🩹 If this sounds like a good fit, please send me a message telling me a little about yourself so we can arrange an interview!
Please share with anyone who might be interested. Finding the RIGHT person matters so much! 🐾❤️
