What are the responsibilities and job description for the Live-in Caregiver for Young Adult Twins with Cerebral Palsy position at Mary Somoza?
Live in position
We are looking for a female to work with our adult twin daughters who have cerebral palsy and are wheelchair users as a live in position. The job would be forty hours a week, 8 a.m. to 12 noon and then 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. Monday to Friday. The applicant would have their own room. Weekends would be free with the understanding that if a weekend aide does not show up or calls in sick, the applicant would cover that shift and of course be paid for it. There are 7 hours of down time during the weekdays in which to explore New York City, Study for a Masters, or just take it easy.
We live in mid-town Manhattan, and this would be an ideal position for someone to live rent free and save for whatever future project. We require a commitment of at least one year. The applicant should be on the tall side as that helps for wheelchair transfers. This job would be a good fit for someone from another state who wants to come to New York City but find it very expensive. The job is assisting my young adult daughters with bathing, grooming, and light housework. They have aides who work during the weeldays with them and at weekends.
The job would start on March 1st, 2025 and we would do a zoom meeting to further discuss the position, but will require an in person visit at some point before giving job acceptance.
We would ask the applicant to come to New York a few days prior to starting work to do training with our current assistant.
The job comes with heath insurance, and multiple benefits (life, disabililty, enemployment insurance, accumulated paid time off for vacation and sick pay, no utilities, etc.).
Please send a resume and a paragraph about why this would be a good job fit for you, Mary
