Caregiver needed for Adult

Description

Needed Special Needs Caregiver
My name is Maureen, and I live in Greenville. I have cerebral palsy and need most activities of daily living done for me, although I'm a very chill person and wholeheartedly not demanding. I am looking for someone for Sunday from 4p/2p to 10:30p. Every other Sunday is 2p to 10:30p. It would be great if someone could be an occasional fill-in, when needed, which I categorize as occasionally. I am looking for an individual that is patient, cheerful, funny and is bubbly. I already have a very solid and friendly team that extends back to 2001. I pay $24/hr. thru an agency. A good driving record is very preferable.
