Me and my service dog, Reason, at the Chihuly Gardensin Seattle

DESCRIPTION

• I am a fulltime power wheelchair user looking for personal care assistants to begin ASAP or early May. The ideal candidate will have at least partial availability during the winter break, but this is not required. I will need assistance with daily living tasks such as personal care, transferring from my wheelchair, preparing meals, completing household chores, and running errands. Depending on public health circumstances, travel opportunities may arise.
• I have 20% of the typical lung capacity for someone my age, so I am very cautious about Covid-19. Job responsibilities include wearing provided PPE and staying up-to-date on vaccinations and boosters.
• Wage rate: $12/hour. Seeking 15 hours per week. Flexible schedule. Testimonials from previous PCAs available. Inquiries for more details are welcome!

GOOD “PATIENT-CARE” EXPERIENCE/RESUME BUILDER for anyone going into nursing, medicine, physical/occupational/recreational therapy, social work, or anyone who is just naturally attentive and looking for a job with a personal connection. This is also a valuable opportunity to broaden your understanding of disability culture, interdependent living skills, social justice, and other disability-related issues.
