👤 Job type: Live-in
📍 Location: Valdemoro – Madrid
👫 Household members: Married couple (gentleman aged 54 with aftereffects from a brain tumour)
🐕 Pets: None
🕒 Days and hours: Sunday 7pm to Friday night or Saturday morning
📅 Start date: As soon as possible
💼 Duties: Care and constant supervision of the gentleman, who has mobility and eats independently, but presents short-term memory problems and childlike behaviour, requiring continuous companionship and great patience. Night-time support is essential: one of his medications causes frequent urination at night, so it will be necessary to wake him and accompany him to the bathroom to prevent accidents. For this reason, the carer will sleep in the same room as the gentleman to monitor him closely.
Complete household management independently: cleaning, organisation, general housekeeping, preparing dinner, drawing up shopping lists and managing day-to-day domestic affairs. The gentleman attends a day centre from 8:30am to 5:15pm, so during that time the live-in carer can take care of the house and organise her schedule, with time to rest as well. The lady works outside the home all day and needs a proactive person with initiative and teamwork skills who can make her life easier. The gentleman has a tracheotomy that is easy to manage; nursing knowledge is not required.
✅ Requirements: Very patient, calm, responsible person with initiative, who knows how to work independently and doesn't wait to be told each task. Good temperament, organisational skills and willingness to wake up frequently at night, since the gentleman wakes very often (it's like caring for a baby) or needs to be woken so he doesn't have accidents in bed. Previous experience in care for people with cognitive decline or dependency will be highly valued. Valid work permit.
💰 Salary: €1,500 per month as base, with possibility of increase according to profile and experience (higher salary, higher level of requirements).
