Caregiver needed for Adult

Description

PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST!!!

Hi, my name is Fin! I’m a 22 year old paraplegic man. I love books, sharks and every shade of blue.

I fell 20ft off a cliff hiking in March of 2025 and in October 2025 I had a spinal stroke that left me wheelchair bound leaving me dependent

NONNEGOTIABLE REQUIREMENTS: A car that can fit a manual wheelchair for transportation.

What you’ll be doing as my PCA:

• Showers 7 days a week 2x daily

• Changing sheets 7 days a week

• Help putting on shoes and clothes

• Help with nail care, haircare and skin care

• Help monitoring potential infections or pressure sores

• Help monitoring bowel movements and bladder

• assistance with wheelchair transfers

• going to doctors appointments with me for advocacy/support I have PT 1 rides for this

• grocery shopping

• cleaning

• meal planning, meal prep, cooking and dishes

• adjusting to a healthier lifestyle for weight loss and overall health

• medication management admistering testosterone injection, reminder to take inhaler, setting up monthly pill box and putting on clindymacin gel

• Hand therapy exercises (just need guidance and reminders)

• going outside in my wheelchair around the building together for vitamin D

• planning outtings to improve mental health

• monitoring health conditions for doctors records

• Help advocating

I have asthma, severe allergies, epilepsy, POTS, autism and several other conditions. During the summer months the heat aggravates my POTS and epilepsy so there’s more risk for seizures and fainting spells. I’m in the process of getting a service dog for epilepsy which you must take into consideration if you’re not comfortable around pets. I carry an inhaler and an epi pen for allergic reactions to tree nuts, coconut’s and gluten. I am diagnosed autistic and this can affect my communication at times. I have severe sensory issues to the point loud noises make me dizzy and sometimes pass out. I can be blunt, I don’t like being touched unless necessary, I get hyperfixated and I go nonverbal sometimes.

I’m adding this because I probably should’ve put this on the original job posting but I don’t feel comfortable adding it typically. I’m a transman if you’re not comfortable working with ftm individuals this won’t work. I felt this needed to be clarified before you applied or I reach out.

AGAIN! HAVING A CAR THAT CAN FIT A MANUAL WHEELCHAIR FOR TRANSPORTATION IS NONNEGOTIABLE!

YOU WILL EARN 20$ AN HOUR THROUGH TEMPUS UNLIMITED!!! NIGHT SHIFT WILL START AT 14-21 HOURS A WEEK!

I’m looking for multiple PCA’s as I have had terrible luck I earn 52 hours a week

Day shift will be 8AM-12PM 7 days a week

Night shift is 5-7PM 7 days a week OR 5PM-8PM 7 days a week. It depends on your availability and reliability as to whether it’s 14 hours a week or 21 hours a week.
