CNA skills required with work experience, dependability, and references. This care takes place in our private home setting. This position is daily for 6:30 am to 8:30/9 am, Monday through Friday. It requires range of motion, hygiene, foley care, medication & supplements, making breakfast, feeding, and tidying up. Another one of Susan's caregivers will relieve you between 8-9am to continue with Susan's care. There are more shifts available during the day 6:30am-3pm, please ask. Applicants should be fit, withOUT chronic pain (such as back/joint pain, arthritis, aggravating injuries, etc.) and NO chronic illness. Susan's care is active and requires her caregivers to move her body. Some daily activities required are patient transfers, upright kneeling on a cushion bedside for as much as 25 minutes each day, moving back and forth from standing to sitting on the ground, passive range of motion for 60-120 minutes each day, etc. This job is VERY active. This patient requires a very active lifestyle to stay healthy. She requires the active assistance of her caregiver. This patient requires both active and passive range of motion and exercises. It's a HUGE plus if you have experience in physical therapy, sports, exercise program, and/or performing range of motion. Body awareness is necessary since you are moving her body for her.

For example:

you have child care, back-up care for your primary child care, and back-up for your back-up child care. Because this is not a facility, there is not another caregiver already present to cover an absence. After the interview process, you will observe one shift to determine if you want to commit to training. Training by current caregiving staff is provided during the weekdays. You should be prepared to train 2 days straight before working on your own. Training is hands on and the quicker you learn her routine, the quicker you can work on your own. We pay for your training hours AFTER you start working on your own at a rate of $12/hr. Once working on your own after training, Your pay rate starts at $15/hr and can go up by $1/hr increases (reviews are every 8-10 shifts) to ultimately get you to $18/hr.
