Save JobJob Description
Need a temporary caregiver in Portland, ME to help care for myself while experiencing chronic illness. I’m looking for 2 hours on weekday mornings 9/1-9/15 until I have a procedure on 9/16, after which I will need daily help while recovering (likely 4-7 days.) I will need help with light housekeeping, meal preparation, caring for my kitten and dog (both very friendly), possibly picking up prescriptions and groceries, helping me remember to take medications on a strict schedule and eat meals as well as reminders to do my PT at home (don’t need help with it, just help getting on schedule.)
