Part Time Helper Needed For Awesome 82 Year Old Mom!! 20-30 Flex...
$15 – $20/hr • Part time • Starts Oct 2 • Surprise, AZ
Morning is snack and lunch prep, I start the dishwasher each morning so a task would be to unload dishwasher. My mom is sight limited anduses a walker, however she's pretty self sufficient and uses the restroom and bathes and dresses herself around 10 a.m. (all on her own) she just needs help putting socks on after bath.
Lunchtime- she sits at a TV tray to eat, and meals are called out to her "Sandwich up front, fruit to your left", etc.
Sometimes she naps after lunch, so a good time do start a load of laundry if her hamper has clothes, run vacuum in main area.
Drinks and snacks for afternoon squared away so she has stuff at the ready until I get home from work.
She LOVES music ! All genres are a win (when she had full use of her legs and sight, she loved to dance)
She enjoys watching (listening) to the news, the Hallmark channel, and game shows.
She loves her family - she's a recent transplant to AZ, so she's not been around here much but likes to talk about things she did where she used to live.
She likes to talk about "when I was younger" things.
She had her full faculties, non dementia.
Honestly- just looking for someone who has a basic understanding of people and can pick up on social queues- example:
Sometimes she will get a little tired or look slightly anxious - and she just may need to check her blood sugar (she wears a Freestyle Libre 2 and she checks it on her own) so getting her juice or fruit would be amazing.
Basic first aid.
Type A personality would not be best. My mom is calm, and enjoys a pleasant surrounding.
Parking is available in front of the house, and she's not in a gated community so easy access to work each day.
Charlie is a 14-year-old Shiba Inu mix. He's pretty set in his "sleep 23. 5 hours a day" routine. He does lay in the way sometimes (usually it will be right when she's getting up to head to the restroom).... but he'll get up and move with encouragement (lol)...
He's old, friendly, sleeps a lot. … more
