Hi! I’m looking for a female caregiver to assist me with my professional and personal tasks during the week. I am an international disability rights speaker, advocate and consultant. I currently do remote independent contract work in the disability rights realm while I work to finish my memoir.
I have cerebral palsy and am a full time motorized wheelchair user, so I require some assistance with my activities of daily living (ADLs), some of which require me to transfer in and out of my wheelchair (example: using the bathroom) . In order to assist me with transfers, a moderate level of physical strength and/or height (5’4 or taller) is a plus when considering this position.
Details of the position:
- Monday through Friday, 11am-7pm (with some flexibility)
- $19/hr for training period and 20 hours a week, $25/hr for 40 hours a week
- Health, dental, vision and life insurance available
What an ideal candidate looks like for us:
- Able to commit for a minimum of 1 year
- Dependable
- Communicative and fun!
- Female (due to personal care aspects)
- Social media growth and management skills, content creation/editing skills (Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Podcasting)
- Typing, writing and editing for professional emails and memoir dictation
- Background or interest in: policy, advocacy, disability justice, writing, travel
- Must be fully vaccinated and boosted against Covid-19
- Minimum required degree: Bachelor’s

Personal care experience welcomed but not required! If you’re a good fit, we’re happy to train you.
This position is in Hell’s Kitchen, Manhattan, where I share an apartment with my sister and our dog, Lucky. Occasional travel, both domestic and international, may arise as I have professional opportunities to speak and present at different venues/events. These details will be discussed during an in-person interview.
