Hi there! Thanks for your interest in joining my wonderful team of caregivers. While hanging out me with is a major perk of the job (obviously), there are others, too:

• use of my coffee bar which includes every topping/flavor you can imagine
• an endless playlist of 80s & 90s music (Broadway showtunes and 50s classics, too)
• your co-worker is an orange cat
• union benefits via UDW
• …a safe, supportive environment that often smells of baked goods

so… what would you be doing?

You’d be helping me with…

• activities of daily living (getting in and out of bed, showering, bathroom, dressing, etc.)
• meal prep
• laundry
• light cleaning / basic household tasks
• errands
• making fancy lattes

requirements?

While caregiving experience is not necessary (training will be provided), there are a few requirements of the job, including:

• occasional light lifting (30-40 lbs)
• a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
• be comfortable around pets
• must be dependable and have a sense of humor
• as I am immunocompromised, wearing a mask is necessary (masks will be provided)

more details?

My team of awesome caregivers is primarily funded through California’s In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS). Under this program, disabled people can find, hire, and maintain their own care staff. But, the program does mandate that employees are 18 or older, pass a background/fingerprint check, and attend a one-hour orientation at the county IHSS office that may include reeeeally boring videos (sorry). All caregivers are W-2 workers and will be paid by IHSS every two weeks on a set payment schedule through direct deposit or check by mail.

Note: while IHSS’s hourly rate is set by the county, that is just part of the total compensation for this position. Message me for more details.
