Jane Smith 123-4567
It's really important to me to find the right person that I will be sharing my living
space with and who will be helping me to function, for both of us. Included is a job
description, schedule, and an application.
I live in an apartment. It's clean, warm and comfortable. I live a pretty quiet life,
music, reading, petting cats, computers, working part time, visiting with friends, going
to the mall to shop or movies or lunch. I don't smoke, drink, do drugs or religion,
although I consider myself a spiritual person, a recovery person. I am 44 years old. I use
an electric wheelchair because of a muscle disease which effects my entire body strength.
I need someone who does not have a problem getting up early in the mornings (5:30 am Mon,
through Fri.). I don't like having to nag people to get things done around the apartment.
I need someone dependable, honest, and responsible and not shy or offended by doing
personal care tasks. They need to be aware of basic cleanliness and not have a problem
with taking directions.
Because an important part of this job revolves around lifting and transferring me in and
out of my wheelchair (I am not able to stand on my own or bear weight, I weigh 160
pounds/5 feet tall) for going to the bathroom there needs to be some flexibility for the
times I have listed for that. I can predict the need to go to the bathroom pretty good but
there will be other times when I will need to go to the bathroom when the need arises.
I'm not looking for someone to hover over me, pity me or see me as a victim. I just need
physical assistance to help me function, personally and on the job. I don't want to be
saved, healed, cured or rehabilitated.
If you are a student and have other goals for yourself or another part time job that is
great. I find its a better match if I can provide a stable living situation for someone
who is pursuing goals for themselves while working for me.
I don't like living a chaotic, dramatic lifestyle although I do appreciate creativity and
openness to learning and growth.
I don't like nagging people to get their work done. Such as cleaning up after meals,
keeping the laundry done up and general vacuuming, floors and keeping the bathrooms clean.
That you can set up on a schedule that works best for you. This is not a heavy care
household and I'm not a perfectionist about it but I do want to know I can count on it
getting done on a schedule of our agreement.
I'm not looking for someone to make a commitment for the rest of their life or anything
like that. Life changes, people change, circumstances change. I need some kind of
reasonable expectation to create a stable living situation. If you are interested in this
job and living situation, please return the application to me.
