PERSONAL CARER NEEDED
I am looking for a female Personal Carer to assist me with my morning routine on Tuesday & Wednesday for 3 hours per day. I live in Waiwhetu, Lower Hutt and use an electric wheelchair.
This includes hoisting out of bed, toileting, showering, dressing, passive leg stretches, making me glam to face the day and getting my breakfast / lunch (which is my main meal).
Some housework is included. No heavy lifting involved. Full training will be given. Oh, and by the way my husband lives with me! We are both retired, but always busy!!
Starting rate in the vicinity of $22 p/h.
Please send your CV to john.lyn@actrix.co.nz by 30th April.
Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?
