What are the responsibilities and job description for the Caregiver for Young Woman with Special Needs position at Home Care - Self Hired?
This position is two days per week Thursdays and Sundays from 8:30am to 9:30pm plus one overnight from 9:30pm-8:30am = 37 hours per week.
We are looking for a special needs caregiver for our 28-year old daughter with Autism and Epilepsy. She lives in an in-law setup within our home. She is primarily non-verbal, but can answer yes/no or choice questions. She is easy-going and does not have any aggressive or behavioral issues. She likes to stay home, go for rides in the car, listen to music and watch cartoon videos on her ipad. This is a very low key and non-stressful job.
We require proof of Covid and Flu Vaccinations in addition to wearing a mask. The position would be hired through EPI, Inc. Their requirements are proof of high-school diploma or GED, clean DMV and backgrounds checks, finger printing, a NYS drivers-license and a safe vehicle to bring to work every shift, in case you go out in the community. You will be reimbursed mileage. Supervision is provided by her family. Training will be provided by her family and other care partners.
We are in search of a special caregiver who is kind and patient. Someone who would like to make this their career and is not looking for a fill-in short term position, but rather is interested in building a long-term trusting relationship with our daughter.
Our daughter is very routine oriented and needs time to complete some tasks. She fully ambulates and can feed herself. She needs assistance with bathing and dressing. She needs her daily meals prepared and light housekeeping.
Pay is $17.50 per hour. If you would like to discuss being a trusted caregiver for our daughter, please message me through indeed or contact me by email.
Please provide either your resume or list of work or personal experiences in care giving. Prefer someone who has experience with autism, but it is not a requirement (training will be provided).
