Assisting with house cleaning;





Cooking meals and feeding;





Driving places; and,





Assisting with other disability-related medical procedures.

Twelve-hour shifts are 9am-9pm or 9pm-9am. Twenty-four hour shift would be 9am on one day to 9am the next day, including being here overnight.

Example: Jennifer works 24 hours a week at a coffee shop 6 hours a day, 4 days a week. After classes Jennifer spends an hour to gather what she needs and travel to work. After work, Jennifer spends another hour to travel home and reorganize for studying. Because Jennifer spends 8 hours traveling to and from work, Jennifer’s total time commitment to work is 32 hours a week but she gets paid for 24.





If Jennifer worked one 24 hour shift as a Private Care Associate, Jennifer would be traveling 2 hours a week. Jennifer’s total time commitment would be 26 hours and she would be paid 24. Therefore, Jennifer would regain 6 hours a week to study or just to have fun!





Requirements:
