We are currently seeking a full-time caregiver “Personal Assistant” who will support a woman that experiences developmental disabilities. She is an independent, kind, and humorous woman that lives in her own apartment in SE Portland.

She really enjoys getting out in the community and doing social activities. She has an amazing sense of humor and loves to laugh.

You will spend time together going to movies, bowling, or eating out (especially pizza). She also values working with personal assistants that enjoy planning and participating in arts and crafts activities.

Each day, you’ll assist her with personal care and household tasks such as cooking meals and tidying up her apartment. She needs substantial assistance with showering, dressing, eating, and using her adaptive equipment. You will assist her in managing her health care needs including medication administration and proper care when she is ill or injured.
