*Seeking Personal Assistant – full-time*
My name is Ali Ramos and I'm an active 37 year old woman who lives with my little herd of dogs and cats. I need assistance with most aspects of my personal care, cooking, household chores including occasional home maintenance, light repairs, and administrative tasks. I also need someone who can drive me in my van. There may be opportunities to travel. I use a power wheelchair and numerous home health gadgets as I have a form of Muscular Dystrophy.
I'm a social worker and am involved in multiple communities as an advocate. When I’m not working or volunteering, I enjoy planning meals for the week and other various activities. I am a responsible employer with 13 years of experience hiring, training and working with my assistants. I am looking for individuals who are organized, careful, and meticulous and that also enjoy a good conversation, respect my home / privacy, and don't mind if I occasionally zone out in my own little world.
