Situation: I recently moved my mom out of memory care in senior living due to neglect. She's with me now until the foreseeable future. She's had symptoms of Alzheimer's since 2016, officially diagnosed with early onset since 2019. She's high functioning: cognitively pretty good, bathes, feeds and dresses herself. Bad short-term memory and needs prompts to eat and shower. She can't be left alone, and I need help with caring for her and the home. I will provide 1:1 training on navigating dementia, and on her personally. She mostly stays in her room all day watching TV and is easy-going.
I'm looking to hire a part-time housekeeper/caregiver/personal assistant. I expect this person would work afternoons, nights, weekdays or weekends. I have a flexible schedule and hopefully you do too. I'm looking for 1-3 people to cover a total of 15-20 hours a week and the occasional overnight stay to help with meals (prep and provide), light housekeeping duties (dishes, cleaning, laundry, vacuuming), errands, calls and grocery shopping.
Location: We live in a single-story house in Guatay, with a beautiful backyard and views, nestled between Descanso and Pine Valley; 30min from Julian and 15min from Alpine.
OPTIONAL: Occasional day rate option to stay over so I can travel a few days here and there. On these occasions looking after one cat would also be required. Proposed day rate of $250 for approximately 6hrs work to provide meals and meds, but must stay on the property so she’s not left alone. Overnight stays not required to apply.
