ABOUT THE ROLE
------------------------------------------------------------
- Seeking TWO full-time male Private Caregivers for an adult living with muscular dystrophy.
- This is a hands-on, live-in lifestyle role that combines personal care and hospitality, with regular travel and social activities.
- You will be part of a two-person team providing coverage in the evenings, overnight, and into the daytime.
- This is NOT a typical 9–5 job and NOT a role where you sleep through the night.
- Only apply if you are truly comfortable being awake and active late into the night on a regular basis.
- Housing is provided: you will have your own furnished apartment, or share a 2 bed / 2 bath with the other caregiver.
------------------------------------------------------------
SCHEDULE & HOURS (READ CAREFULLY)
------------------------------------------------------------
- Primary schedule is evenings and overnights.
- Typical working block is approximately 8:00 PM to 2:00 PM the following day.
- There may be periods of downtime, but you will NOT get a full night of uninterrupted sleep on shift.
- Rotating 2–2–5–5 schedule shared between two caregivers:
- 2 days on, 2 days off, plus a longer 5-day live-in block over weekends, alternating between caregivers.
- The client often goes to bed very late, so you must be comfortable being awake and providing care during late-night hours.
- This role should be treated as a primary lifestyle commitment, not a clock-in/clock-out job.
