Elder Care Job in Ottawa, Ontario

I'm an
Individual
Live-in caregiver will provide active support during the day and on-call support at night to two young women with intellectual disabilities and who are deaf. Home is occupied by these women plus another live-in caregiver who also works outside the home. Other support workers, including nurses come every day for 2 hours plus three overnight to support one of the young women who is tube fed. Both young women are ambulatory, and enjoy living in their own home (away from mom and dad). This aim of the living arrangement, that is closely monitored by parents of the young women, is supported independent living, with the intention that they participate in meal preparation, cleaning, shopping, etc. Both are involved in day programs Monday to Friday 8:30 to 3:00 pm. Duties with be shared with other workers, so live-in caregiver could conceivably take on another job or attend school. Schedules are negotiated monthly with families and other caregivers. House is located close to transitway, O-train, Carleton University, shopping, cinemas, banks, and is in a quiet, safe neighbourhood in the south end of Ottawa. We are supporting 2 adult women with intellectual disabilities who are also deaf. Both go to day programs, so care we are seeking would be live in. Hours of work would be early mornings and overnights but not awake. And some hours every second weekend. Young women currently live in their own home, which is owned by parents, and there is another live-in caregiver. Caregiver would have own bedroom and bath in basement. Large house has lots of common spaces but one shared kitchen. Not affiliated with an agency - all administration managed by families
