Young-hearted weekends live-in caregiver for awesome student in SFU residence needed asap!
I am reaching out in hopes of finding a lively, outgoing individual to join me as a weekend-based, live-in caregiver who is energetic and talkative at my SFU residence. I use a wheelchair with SMA Type 2 - a condition causing significant muscle weakness. Although I possess complete sensation, I need support with transfers, dressing, bathing, and toilet needs, in addition to tube feeding. I'm sociable along with having a keen interest in politics, video gaming, movies and lively discussions on a broad range of topics. As the weekend live-in caregiver, I'll need you to help with some light housekeeping tasks, maybe a bit of laundry and ensuring my comfortability and positioning. The ability to deal effectively with Quad/Paraplegic Care is essential, along with proficiency in using a Hoyer Lift. Don't worry, we can train on the latter! :-) I live in a fully accessible residence unit at SFU. It's a nice, quiet space that backs onto a green space here. If you are a young at heart, extroverted person who is passionate about offering support to someone like me, please consider this opportunity. Looking forward to exploring the possibilities of this position with you. Together, we can make my university experience a memorable journey.
