Description

NEED A CARETAKER FOR MY MOTHER WHO HAS DEMENTIA. (Skokie) compensation: $15 an hour. Also I may be offer a free place to live. Good day. I am looking for another caretaker to watch my mother who has dementia. I currently have one who works from 10am-5pm every day and on the weekends but we need someone to help so she can get a rest. My cousin (a male) lives there with her but he will be working nights/days and so she needs someone to watch her when she is not sleeping at night. She lives in Skokie, IL and I might be able to offer a small room as part compensation as well as money paid. WHEN I WOULD NEED YOU WOULD BE FOR THESE HOURS: 7am-10am and 5/6pm to about 9pm M-F and one full day on the weekend. You would have about 9.5 hours with the state ($18.75) and the rest would be paid by myself. There might be instances where you would be required to work the full week if the primary caretaker is not available due to maybe being sick or tending to her family. This situation would be idea for someone that lives in the area and is retired or looking for flexible hours. But the above hours would be needed. Duties: Bathing, cooking her meals and maybe just walking her for some exercise. Also we have a washing machine in the basement where you would wash her clothes. She is able to walk independently but cognitively she has declined. The main caretaker does these chores but if needed we would like you to help out. But in the morning you probably would give her a bath and make her something simple to eat. Again, I can offer: $15 per hour. She also has hours available through the DORS program $18.75 which I can pay you through that way as well as cash. She has a small room next to her bedroom that you could live for free to offer as part compensation if the situation is right. FEMALE CARETAKER ONLY!! Sorry no discrimination but my mother needs a female. She lives in a 4 unit condo walk up building. The unit is clean and I expect for you to be clean as well. Please no scam artists and you will be required to do a background check from the state. Would like to hire someone ASAP. You probably would come by and spend a few hours with her to see if you like the situation. I will pay you for your time. Please respond with your background and I will call you to set up an interview. Regards,
