Family in Brooklyn, New York

Hey my name is Esther. I am a woman with multiple sclerosis who is wheel-chair bound and I am looking for a female caregiver for myself. Specifically, I am in need of someone to work twelve hours shifts - nights or days - in a private home in Brooklyn. I do go out frequently, both in Access-a-ride and in a modified car. Being a licensed driver with clean record would be a plus. An HHA or CNA certificate would also be a plus. Experience with handicapped people would also be a plus, but I am willing to train you. Fluent English speaking required. I am part of an NYC Program. This program requires that the aide be registered with an appropriate agency. The agency will be responsible for all payments to the caretaker. Registration detail will be given to you at the time of interview. Applicants must be able to work legally in the U.S. Required tasks include: *feeding, bathing, oral hygiene, dressing, and exercising *some cooking, cleaning, laundry and shopping *assisting with computer work, typing, emails, cell phone use, reading *operation of power wheel chair and Hoyer lift for transferring in and out of bed (will train as needed) *facial care and makeup application *being able to see what needs doing without being asked *happy and energetic disposition
