Haitian-Creole Speaking Caregiver Needed for Part-time Case in Riverview

We have a client with mild-moderate dementia who needs companionship care. Right now, he receives care Tuesday and Thursday for a couple of hours per day. The time is flexible. His needs will increase overtime and the hours of work with him will increase accordingly. Physically, he is very independent and does not need assistance with much. His biggest needs are reminders to eat, go to the bathroom, take his medicine. He speaks Haitian Creole, and he lives with family. We're looking for a reliable, compassionate caregiver who speaks English and Haitian Creole to pick up his case, and hopefully to care for him for a good long time. If that is you, please apply after reviewing the information below.

Please do not apply if you to this job posting if you are not interested in this case. Those who apply to this case will of course have opportunities to work open shifts and other cases as they become available.
