We're currently looking for an Occasional Caregiver in Pasadena, CA 91105

A lovely family near South Arroyo is seeking an occasional caregiver for their 67-year-old mother to start immediately. Backup care is needed 1-4 times per month on any day between Monday-Saturday between 7am-5pm, typically at least 4 hours at a time. The client resides at an assisted living facility in Pasadena, and the family is looking for someone to engage with her in various activities including puzzles, nail care, and coloring books. The client enjoys discussing pop culture, doing crossword puzzles, and reading. The client is diabetic, has a history of a stroke with left arm weakness, and is forgetful at times. She uses a 4lb. cane when walking, and a wheelchair for longer distances which can fit into a standard-sized trunk. She wears adult diapers and may require under-the-arm assistance when standing up (client weighs ~130 lbs). She has a history of seizures and the caregiver will need to assist with checking her sugar. Should this occur she wears a continuous glucose monitor. The client can administer insulin independently, but it will be helpful if the provider can indicate the right dosage. The family can provide at least a week's notice before backup care is needed. Those applying do not need to be available for all of the family's requests, but should understand that there are no guaranteed weekly hours for this position. A great candidate will be attentive, compassionate, flexible, and patient.
