Jobs in Victoria, bc, ca

Are you a compassionate and caring elder care provider looking for a long-term, full-time, live-in primary caregiver position with competitive compensation in Victoria, BC? Our amazing 84 year old mother lost most of her vision in late 2023 (she has 8% peripheral vision in one eye). Up until that time, she managed to live on her own and do virtually everything for herself. She has had a full-time live-in caregiver since she lost her vision (her caregiver is planning on moving home up-island) and she loves that she's been able to stay in her home despite her loss of vision (3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home on a quarter-acre 5 minutes from UVic). My sister and I live in Canmore / Calgary and travel frequently to Victoria.The successful caregiver will be responsible for providing 'light elder care' duties including companionship, outdoor walks, managing the household, preparing meals, administering medication, and daily errands. The pay is competitive and room & board is included. We strive to be great, no-nonsense employers that will work with you to form an arrangement and schedule that works best for you and for our mother. In practice this typically means that the day runs from 7am (prepare breakfast) through 8pm (bedtime). You'll have your own bedroom and bathroom in a nice home in a fantastic, quiet neighbourhood.We've found that a 'primary' fulltime live-in caregiver supplemented by 'backup' full-time live-in caregivers works the best for everyone. In practice this means the Primary Caregiver works for ~ 2 weeks straight and then takes a few days off. During the Primary Caregiver's breaks we'll bring in other Backup Caregivers so that our mother has uninterrupted 24 / 7 care in her home. The ideal candidate will possess excellent communication skills, a caring attitude, patience, and a willingness to learn.We're looking for you to start at the beginning of March and understand that live-in companions will need time to make arrangements. We'll provide paid training before you begin caregiving duties.If this role is a good fit for your aspirations and care background, please message Mark. We look forward to hearing from you.Please visit https : / / eldercare.com / jobs / elder-care-provider-wanted-in-victoria-bc-25hr-great-family-atmosphere-job to view full details and to apply.
