  • COMPANION CAREGIVER needed who can COOK particular cuisine

    Close To Home Caregivers 3.7company rating

    Direct Care Worker Job 34 miles from Port Charlotte

    We have a client in Sarasota who needs a companion caregiver with a unique cooking skill. The companion part first - the client is a woman with early dementia who lives near UTC in Sarasota. Her husband is the main caregiver and needs a break Monday through Fridays from 3:00pm to 7:00pm ... or 4:00pm to 8:00pm. The caregiver is principally there to spend time with the wife and converse with her during that late afternoon/evening shift time.. Now for the special “cooking skill” part. The caregiver needs to be capable of cooking dishes that suit the couple's taste for German/Eastern European cuisine, as well as American. If you are an experienced cook with knowledge of European dishes -- and a companion caregiver as well -- this position could be perfect for you and it could possibly continue for some time. Wage: $17.00/hour Compensation: $17.00 per hour We are a company run by caregivers not business managers. Our mission is to provide superior care and safety for our clients ... but also to retain our caregivers by keeping their needs and preferences uppermost in our scheduling. We try to find shifts that match their preferences, and clients that fit their skills and comfort level. In hiring, we look for caregivers who are compassionate, well-trained, reliable and vigilant. If you are new to caregiving but are empathetic and responsible, and you enjoy helping others, we will train you. Professional caregivers go by many names: homemakers, home care aides, home health aides, certified nursing assistants, personal care assistants, direct care workers. No matter the name, what we all have in common is a calling to care for people in the comfort of their own homes or assisted-living facilities. This agency is independently owned and operated. Your application will go directly to the agency, and all hiring decisions will be made by the management of this agency. All inquiries about employment at this agency should be made directly to the agency location, and not to Home Care Evolution Corporate.
