Developmental Support Worker / Personal Support Worker / Health Care Aide - Midtown, Toronto - CAD$108.00/week

Description

About the Client:

We're seeking a compassionate caregiver for an 88-year-old woman living independently in her Midtown Toronto apartment of 33 years. She's a positive, educated individual who values good conversation and companionship. While she has no significant medical issues and manages her personal care independently, she's experiencing some memory changes and has had a couple of falls due to fatigue.

Her family visits regularly but wants additional support to help her remain safely in her home and maintain her active lifestyle in the neighborhood.

Responsibilities:

- Accompany client on walks to nearby locations (bank, grocery store, liquor store - all within 10 minutes walking distance)
- Provide companionship and engaging conversation
- Offer memory prompts and gentle redirection as needed
- Ensure safety during outings, particularly in winter months
- Light errand assistance as needed
- Monitor for signs of fatigue during activities

What We're Looking For:

- Someone who brings positive, upbeat energy
- Reliable and consistent attendance
- Educated with good communication skills
- Patient and respectful of client's independence
- Comfortable providing memory support and redirection
- English speaking required (Dutch language skills a bonus but not necessary)




- Experience with seniors experiencing memory changes
- Able to engage in meaningful conversation

This is an ideal position for a caregiver who enjoys companionship-focused care and outdoor activities. The client is independent with mobility, personal care, meals, and medications - she simply needs a supportive presence to ensure safety during her daily routines and to provide social engagement.

Schedule:

Starting with 2 visits per week, 2 hours per visit. Preferred days are Wednesday and Friday, with visits beginning around 11:00 AM or noon (client's preferred "coffee time"). Schedule may expand based on client comfort and family needs. This is the client's first time receiving care, so we're starting gradually to ensure a positive fit.
