This position is thru Exceptional Family Resources and background check necessary and clean drivers license. $19.50 an hour. I also have overnights available for back up 10pm-8am. On overnights, you can watch tv, read etc. Great for students, moms, etc, who want to make some extra money. $18.10 an hour thru PPL formerly thru AccessCNY. I live in Riverknoll Apts. I have a cat. I use a wheelchair and have my college degree. The day and evening staff help me with all ADL’s and transfers via.electric sit-to stand or track system and also personal care. This is includes meal prep, driving me to shop in my modified van, toileting and light housework. My existing staff and I will provide specialized training on my sit to stand and track system. Overnight duties are just reposition and help toileting if necessary during the night while you relax and get me dressed and in my wheelchair in the morning. There is a lot of down time. Interviewing serious applicants only. If interested, please provide an email address and phone number where you can be reached and I can explain in more detail. I interview anyone interested in a position. Positions are not private pay. My physical disability requires that I have 24 hour staff, and I kindly request that you only contact me if you are very reliable and serious about working and can work when you have been scheduled. It is very depressing to me when people contact me and then ghost me in the middle of the process. Please be honest with me. Thank you.

Personal cook and caregiver (Brattleboro)
I am seeking a reliable, detail-oriented individual with experience in cooking—either as a dedicated home cook or with a professional culinary background—who values the connection between food and health. This role combines personal cooking with light caregiving support in my home. You’ll be responsible for preparing all of my meals twice per week (Mondays and Thursdays), cooking and portioning enough food for 3–4 days at a time. The hours on Monday would be approximately 11:30am-7:30pm (8hrs), and on Thursday would be approximately 10:30am-5:30pm (7hrs). Strong multitasking skills, the ability to follow written instructions, and digital communication via text are essential. You’ll also assist with grocery shopping, meal planning, and maintaining a clean, organized kitchen. You will be cooking in my home. My kitchen is well equipped with appliances and essential kitchen tools, and I have a fairly large selection of spices and condiments. I have a collection of several hundred recipes that we have tailored to my specific needs, and I also enjoy trying new things and adding new recipes to the collection. About me: I am a disabled female science educator, musician and artist in my early 50s who uses a wheelchair. I don't have much use of my hands, so I need help with almost all aspects of my life and health at home. I also had a jaw injury last year which makes it difficult for me to talk, and I can only talk in small amounts at a time. So I do a lot of my communication via dictation/texting. Food is an important aspect of my health/healing plan. I used to cook a lot and worked in several restaurants in my 20s, and even though I can’t cook anymore I still love planning my meals, eating interesting, varied, and healthy foods. Which is where you come in!! I especially love Japanese food, Vietnamese, and Korean food. I also eat a lot of simple New England style meals, vegetable soups, pan seared seafood, salads, etc..

This is the only hands-on caregiving I would need you to assist with and it would only be as a sub/if I don't have another caregiver that day. (this is not required, but would really make my scheduling a lot easier and would be a strong plus) Skills & Requirements -Strong ability to follow written directions and synthesize instructions from multiple sources -Ability to multitask and manage several dishes at once -Effective time management to complete all tasks within scheduled hours -Competent knife skills and comfort using standard kitchen tools -Attention to detail regarding cleanliness, food safety, freshness of ingredients, etc. -Familiarity with or willingness to learn how to follow specific dietary guidelines -Physical ability to perform job duties, including: Standing for 5–8 hours while cooking, lifting and transporting groceries, and bending and kneeling to harvest from the garden or access things in cupboards -Compassionate, patient, and emotionally attuned when working around pain and physical limitations -Adaptable to changes in the meal plan, dietary needs shifting, ingredient substitutions, etc. -Good communication skills and willingness to collaborate with me and with other caregivers -Proactive communicator, problem solver, collaborator -Reliable, prompt, dependable, trustworthy -Tech-savvy: must be comfortable using digital devices (texting, iPad apps, MacBook, etc.) -Must use a personal smartphone for work-related communication -Must be able to use your own vehicle for errands and shopping Additional Notes -I am immunocompromised and you will need to wear a mask while in the house please. -This is a non-smoking home with an indoor cat; please consider any allergies or sensitivities -Street parking is available outside the home Compensation -Starting pay is $25-$35 per hour (based on experience), with the possibility for bonuses and raises over time.

Confirm that you are willing to commit to a minimum of a year (if the job is a good fit) and that a part-time job will fit your longer-term goals (I have hired several part-time people in the past, only to have them leave when they are offered full-time work, or change their life path). Really, I am looking for someone who is available indefinitely, for two years or longer. The best benefits come once we get to know each other and you can learn my needs and we develop a good working relationship. 7. What is your daily availability?
