Personal Care Assistant for Sean Quigg
Seeking Personal Assistant(s)
Sunday – Saturday 9 am – 9pm up to 40hrs/wk
I’m an active 29 year old man who lives with my parents and 2 cats. I need assistance with most aspects of my personal care, cooking, household chores including occasional home maintenance and light repairs, and administrative tasks. I also need someone who can drive me in my van. There may be opportunities to travel with us. I use a power wheelchair and numerous home health gadgets. Our home is 2 miles southeast of the New Milford Green.
I work part-time for my non-profit organization, and enjoy spending time with my friends. I like cooking, listening to music, writing, playing games, watching movies, planning/attending events, reading, computer geeking, gardening, chatting over tea, and such. I am a responsible employer with 12 years of experience hiring, training and working with my assistants. I am looking for responsible, organized, careful, people who enjoy good conversation, respect my home and privacy, and don’t mind if I zone out on good and bad TV.
