Live In Care Giver/Roommate
I'm a 25 year old quadriplegic (high functioning quad) looking for a live in caregiver ideally female but could be male. Iv got no feeling or movement from my pecks down, have no tricep or individual finger function. I DO have bicep, wrist flexion, neck & shoulder function so I can still do practically everything a normal person can (if it's at a reachable height) and wheel myself around everywhere inside & out (even on grass) . My home is all wheelchair accessible. I would need you to do things like go with me (got a truck I can drive) to get groceries, or to an appointment (can book things to accommodate your schedule), give help with stuff like suppositories, getting dressed, transferring to/from bed, cook supper (I freeze meals that I can warmup myself & can make simple things & anything microwaveable if your gone) & other simple tasks around the house/yard. I would need on average 3 combined hours of work a day (somedays would end up being a bit more & some less but I track & keep an average of 3). You would have your own room & access to internet, pool table, fireplace, heated garage storage (no vehicles) & any other amenities in my home. You need to already live in/close to Saskatoon as we NEED to meet to get a sense of one another's character/personality which is unachievable through phone or Skype so NO OUT OF COUNTRY WORKERS. Past experience in this field is not necessary (but helpful) being I'm more looking for someone who I get along with, would be committed fairly long term, is ideally between the ages of 25-35 (no over 35 as it's easier to relate with a closer age) & has a valid drivers license. Im real laid back & easy to get along with and we would have a roommate type relationship. I need for you to be there each night (unless booked off) in case of a fire being I cannot get out of bed myself & for this, you won't have to pay rent. Email me with a little about yourself & questions thanks. Kijiji ad is more detailed
