Family Rose from Neptune, USA looking caregiver for elderly for Cooking meals, Light domestic work, Cleaning & Laundry & Washing & Dressing

Seeking someone who has a compassionate, empathetic, understanding personality.
Must be respectful, patient, trustworthy and kind to the elderly, my mom, and all people.

We prefer a younger explorer:) and elder caretaker from 18 -30 preferably - we would love to provide a great experience here for YOU too! :) An Italian caretaker would help my mom warm up as it would remind her of her roots... (don't have to be Italian...but just sharing that :) A good quality solid person with the same values and integrity is most important.

- We are Christian (Catholic). It would help if you believe the same, as we will share the same values.
We go to church. Read the Bible at times but should more often:)
- You should be serious about your job at hand yet know when to be 'light' and have a playful kind sense of humor :) - We are trusting our 'mom' 'with you' so that is more important than 'Gold' and it's a mutual honor to earn that respect and trust.
- We like a hard worker, not lazy. Be proactive and take the initiative once you understand the needs here and are comfortable. (We all are hard workers, and came from hard working loving families), but we are very playful and have fun too!! ;)

- You should speak some English to get by/understand so no miscommunications.
- Mom and Ernest understands Italian and some Spanish, but speaks English.
-(I come from Italian and French background(born in USA). I Took Spanish and French classes but
do not remember all but open to learning too).
- Please have knowledge of CPR, or First Aid. Or we are Willing to teach right person or direct toward classes if you do not yet. So you are aware and what to do, just in case....
- You will need to take Blood Pressure (will show if you do not know), and understand why it is important.
- Medication reminders.

- Walk near mom sometimes when she uses her walker, if knees are hurting her. (Know "fall prevention" techniques/skills - willing to teach you also :)

- She goes to the bathroom on her own, but if she does need assistance in bathroom, you should be able and willing to help in the bathroom .
- She only likes me bathing her, but I want someone who is comfortable doing this eventually, as I will need help sometimes if I am not available.
- We need someone who likes to cook, or is willing to learn and prepare meals, and in advance. This is important! :)
- Someone who likes to be organized and can help me organize too :)
- Someone who can do lighthouse keeping (vacuum, Dust, clean up in the kitchen, etc). Just maintain a clean area.
- Ok with doing laundry if requested.
- Take Mom for walks in wheel chair, if nice out, but not when too hot (that will cause her to get dehydrated and cause her blood pressure to go up, which we will teach if you do not know. Need someone very mindful and "thinking" of 'mom'.

- You Must have background check to provide from your country. I can provide a background check company name and # if you do not have one. Provide a photo ID license; and have 3 references (including any past families you were an AuPair with previously if applicable, previous employer).

Mom is very popular so family calls to check on her :) There are camera monitors in the townhome near mom so family can keep an eye on mom too when I am not here.

Again, looking for honest and trustworthy person. You should have healthy boundaries. (Had a caretaker take moms vitamins, dump 1/2 the bottle for "herself". Hence, she is no longer here. I should not have to even type this, but just so we are clear and establish healthy expectations and boundaries up front. Respectful and asking is expected and very appreciated. Thank you :)

Mom prefers a female. It will take her a little time to get used to anyone so please be caring and have understanding and patience. :)

We love to provide a fun experience for you also! Willing to show you around at the New Jersey shore/beach and New York City... perhaps depending on situation, can join us on a Florida trip...
