Part-Time Companion/Helper Needed for 57-Year-Old Male with Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy
We are looking for a compassionate, easy-going, mature individual to assist a 57-year-old man who has Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy, a progressive condition that affects his mobility.

The ideal candidate would be able to work between 4 to 6 hours over the course of one or two days each week, though we’re flexible; the time and day each week could also be changed depending on your schedule. If you’re gentle, kind, and enjoy engaging in conversation, particularly about travel and family, please reach out to us. We are hoping to find someone who is interested in building a long-term, supportive relationship over the course of several years though we understand that the summers would likely be an exception.
This position offers $30/hour, with all meals at restaurants covered. Having a car at your disposal would be helpful though not absolutely necessary.
