Carer Needed ASAP
I am still looking for a female Personal Carer to assist me with my morning routine on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings for 2 1/2 hours from 8.30 - 11am. My carer has had to return unexpectegly to Wales for an unknown length of time due to family crisis. I live in Waiwhetu, Lower Hutt and use an electric wheelchair. I am 71 years young. and have used a wheelchair for about 36 years.
This includes hoisting out of bed, toileting, showering, dressing, passive leg stretches, making me glam to face the day and getting my breakfast / lunch (which is my main meal).
Some housework is included. No heavy lifting involved, but this a physical job. Full training will be given. Oh, and by the way my husband lives with me! We are both retired, but always busy!!
Starting rate in the vicinity of $25 p/h. I am funded by MoH. through Manawanui. Phone 568- 9086 or 0274343643, email john.lyn@actrix.co.nz
