Need morning help for 45 year male in wheelchair with Muscular Dystrophy $30/hour
by Miguel • West Kelowna
August 30th, 2024 - I'm actively looking to hire for mornings and/or evenings.
I am a 45 year old male in Upper Glenrosa with Muscular Dystrophy and use a wheelchair. My interests are sci-fi, NCIS, FBI, and home reno shows.
No experience needed.
Prefer to start around 830-9am, but can do earlier or later. Typical shift is 4-5 hours and goes like this:
- Help me sit up on my bed and give me some water and Boost drink
- While waiting for me to be ready, some housekeeping like vacuuming, dishes, laundry. Once done, feel free to eat, read, do yoga, etc :)
- After roughly 90 minutes, we move me to the washroom using a portable electric lift
- 30 minutes after that we start the partial body washing/getting dressed
- Move me to my wheelchair with the lift where we wash my hair and face
- Throw some food in the microwave or instant pot
- Push me to my desk, place the food in front of me, and we're done
Safety is a priority so we both wear easy breathing kn95 masks while caring for me and I try to keep the windows open as much as possible.
The hourly rate starts at $30/hour.
If you are interested or know someone who might be interested, it would be great to hear from you.
$112 - $1455 Hr. / Day

My daughter is 25 she has had mental health issues for many years mostly due to inappropriate medication. We are weaning her off as we speak and are looking for someone to just be a companion as she learns new skills and to integrate back into society. This could lead into more hours and doesn’t necessarily have to be Friday nights although we have plans for this Friday for my birthday, but after that we could change schedule.
