Live-In Caregiver for 86 year old East-Indian/Canadian woman, with short-term memory loss.
Immediate opening for a compassionate and dependable caregiver for my 86-year old East Indian mother with short-term memory loss, residing at the well-facilitated Beyond-the-Sea Condominiums in Etobicoke. This facility offers a variety of amenities such as a swimming pool, sauna, fitness room, games room, among others. We are seeking someone who can communicate fluently in Hindi and is familiar with cooking and serving Indian meals, specifically vegetarian dishes. Our mother is not exceptionally active, though she savors occasional outdoor walks with some assistance. Her usual day spans from 9:30 AM to 7:30PM, punctuated by an afternoon nap, two chai breaks, and meals. This role requires the caregiver to reside on-site as she cannot be left alone for long periods. Work hours are flexible between 30 - 40 hours weekly, spread through every day of the week. No driving or driving license is required as any transportation needed is taken care of by the family. As a caregiver, your primary responsibilities will be to assist her with daily routines such as grooming, dressing, and personal care. This will be in addition to delivering housekeeping responsibilities such as laundry, cleaning bathrooms, and vacuuming. Additional job tasks will include grocery shopping, meal planning, preparation of meals, running essential errands and escorting her to appointments, if any. Past experience with conditions like Dementia, Alzheimer's and Stroke would be an added advantage. This position is open for immediate hiring. Whether you prefer full-time or part-time, or specifically, daytime or nighttime shifts, we can establish a schedule that suits both parties. Join us in providing the caring and safe environment my mother deserves in her old age. We are eager to welcome you as part of our family's support system.
