About the job
I am a juvenile brain cancer survivor with cognitive and physical disabilities. While I am high functioning, I do face various challenges. I would like to find someone to help implement and support morning and nighttime routines (including hygiene), systems for cooking and cleaning, and outdoor recreation (including but not limited to riding a bicycle, backpacking, swimming, skiing). Because of right side hemiplegia I experience abnormal gross motor functions. A great personal care assistant will be attentive to my cognitive state and capacities, as these may change and cause more physical symptoms. They will have to provide physical support, if necessary, acting like a bumper. I would also like my care assistant to be able to check emails as needed. Ideally, this would be part-time but I am flexible on hours.
