Save JobJob Description
We are seeking a part-time, private caregiver to assist our father, who has advanced Parkinson’s disease, with personal care only. Care needs include assistance with dressing, showering and shaving (every other day), grooming, and light mobility/transfers to reduce fall risk. He can feed himself but may need help with meal setup. This role is task-based, with short visits rather than long companion shifts. Housekeeping, cooking, errands, driving, and medication management are handled by family. We strongly prefer a consistent caregiver (same person each visit). Experience with Parkinson’s or mobility-related conditions is highly preferred. Schedule will start light and flexible, with the option to increase if needed.
