Student Jobs

10-15 hours per week; we can be flexible on time of day and are also figuring out what is most helpful.

We're looking for a reliable, warm, and physically capable caregiver to support an older gentleman living with Parkinson's disease. This is a great fit for a nursing, kinesiology, or health-sciences student, or anyone with elder-care experience who wants meaningful part-time work with a flexible schedule.

What you'd help with:

• Personal care, including assistance with bathing and daily hygiene
• Meal setup (preparing and bringing food to him; he eats independently once it's in front of him)
• Helping him work through his prescribed physical therapy home exercises
• Companionship and conversation
• Safe assistance with movement and transfers, and, in the infrequent event of a fall, helping him up using the assistive lift (hoyer lift) equipment we provide.

The amount of help needed varies day to day. On days when his symptoms are more active, the role is more hands-on; on better days it's lighter and more about company and light support.

What we're looking for:

• Dependable, patient, and genuinely kind
• Physically able to safely assist with transfers and help him up from the floor using provided equipment
• Experience with Parkinson's, seniors, or personal care preferred (CNA a plus, not required)
• CPR/First Aid certification a plus
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation for very occasional driving to appointments
• Non-smoker; able to pass a background check and provide references

Schedule and pay:

• Approximately 10 hours per week, with flexibility for heavier days
• $23 to $25/hour depending on experience
• Starts with a paid trial shift so we can both make sure it's a good fit
• Start date: August or September 2026
