Caregiver Job Opportunity
I am almost 40 year old with Spinal Muscular Atrophy, respiratory disease and autoimmune disease, and receive PCA services 24 hours a day. I am seeking additional fun, outgoing and responsible gals to join my team of caregivers! This is a very COVID safe job and I provide PPE for necessary purposes. I am dependent on my PCAs for anything and everything throughout the day. I work from home as a covid contact tracer, enjoy music, comedy, fashion, traveling, being outside in the summer, pizza, pasta and Starbucks. Due to covid, I am in isolation until society is safe for me to go into places. I live close to the Aveda Institute in Northeast Minneapolis. No experience is needed as personalized training is provided and it is a really great opportunity for students! $125-250 cash bonuses are available after 30-45-days of good job performance, and potentially a $500 stipend after 90-days.
