Companion and Personal Assistant

*Seeking Personal Assistant – full-time*

My name is Ali Ramos and I'm an active 38 year old woman who lives with my little herd of dogs and cats. I need assistance with most aspects of my personal care, cooking, household chores including occasional home maintenance, light repairs, and administrative tasks. I also need someone who can drive me in my van. There may be opportunities to travel. I use a power wheelchair and numerous home health gadgets as I have a form of Muscular Dystrophy.

I'm a social worker and am involved in multiple communities as an advocate. When I’m not working or volunteering, I enjoy planning meals for the week and other various activities. I am a responsible employer with 13 years of experience hiring, training and working with my assistants. I am looking for individuals who are organized, careful, and meticulous and that also enjoy a good conversation, respect my home / privacy, and don't mind if I occasionally zone out in my own little world.

Open shifts - approximately 34 hours

Monday: 4:00 pm - 12:30 am
Tuesday: 4:00 pm - 12:30 am
Wednesday: 4:00 pm - 12:30 am
Thursday: 4:00 pm - 12:30 am

I have additional assistants that you will be working on a team with to make sure that all shifts are covered. Various shifts will also need to be filled on different days in case the other assistants are sick, emergencies, or vacations. There will be days that I may need you to come in early or stay later.
