Days Needed: M - F. Extra days are OK. Up to you and Stuart
If you want to personalize your schedule, we can talk about what's best for you.
Best Hours: We figure that you would start at 10:30 am, and work until 4:30. That's 6 hours per day. If you want to try some other schedule, that might be OK.
Typical Schedule:
Arrive at Condo 10:30
Neck and back stretch
Exercises
Wrist and Arm Exercises
Walking outside, or on Treadmill.
Squat machine exercises.
Snack, Juice, something
He sits, watches TV.
You start preparing lunch.
Shower, every other day.
After lunch, clean, laundry, whatever is needed.
Afternoons, he'll probably just sit and watch TV, or sleep in the chair.
Pay:
We can pay you each week, or whatever is best for you. We feel that if we start at $22 per hour, that is fair. If you believe that you are worth more, and can convince us of that, we are glad to accommodate.
Emotions!!!
Emotions run high. Sometimes my dad is quiet. Sometimes he's needy and calling for you. Sometimes he's grumpy. Sometimes he's a total asshole. You get the picture. We don't expect each day to be perfect. Or even close. However, he is our dad, and we are trying to make him comfortable, while forcing... yes, forcing... him to do some exercise so he can still move around the condo by himself, and not spend the rest of his life in bed.
Touching
You know this is a physical job. From the walker, to the wheelchair, to exercises, to helping him get dressed, bathed, etc. Hopefully you've done this type of work before. If not, you will learn, and there will be times you will be his support system, his hygienist, his maid or butler, and his 'friend'. It's not easy. But, if you like this kind of work and challenge, let me know.
