We are seeking a compassionate, reliable, and experienced Nursing Aide or Caregiver to provide evening support for a 64-year-old individual diagnosed with ALS who is now wheelchair-bound and requires hands-on assistance. This position is based in a private residence and offers a consistent schedule of 7 days per week from 10:00 AM to 5 PM, with compensation at $40 per hour. The caregiver will support both morning and afternoon routines, including assisting with personal care and hygiene, providing companionship, and engaging in social interaction.
