Personal Assistant / Caregiver

Job Description

Job Description

We are seeking a compassionate, dependable, and professional individual to become an important part of her daily life by providing personal assistance, companionship, and support with everyday activities.

You will be assisting an active, independent business owner who is a quadruple amputee following a sepsis infection nine years ago. She wears prosthetic legs, is mobile, and enjoys living a full and active lifestyle. She is a successful business owner with a great sense of humor who enjoys staying busy, traveling, shopping, dining out, and spending time with her family. She shares her home with her husband, five small dogs, and two cockatiels, so the ideal candidate should genuinely enjoy both people and animals.

If you are looking for more than just a job and want the opportunity to make a meaningful difference while becoming a trusted part of someone's daily life, we would love to hear from you.

This position follows a rotating 4 days on / 4 days off schedule.

Typical hours are approximately 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM , although flexibility is important. Some days may end earlier, while others may extend later depending on appointments, activities, or travel.
