About the job
My partner Pedro, 36, has been paralyzed from shoulders down for the past 5 years, so cannot use his hands, arms, or legs. As a result, we are looking for an assistant who can be his hands and feet: opening doors for him, feeding him, taking him to appointments, helping him shop and fill out paperwork -- whatever each day requires. This position is 3 days a week, 11am-9 p.m. (M/W/F or T/Th/Sat) We value reliability -- Pedro can't eat or scratch his eyebrow if his caregiver doesn't show up for work, and adaptability -- some days will be very quiet, with Pedro doing his own thing at home, and some will be very social, with Pedro attending events or meeting friends for lunch or dinner. This position requires a valid driver's license. You can park at our home, which is also served by several bus lines and a nearby metro stop.
