Russian-Speaking Caregiver Needed - Hamden, CT
Monday - Friday | 9 AM - 2 PM | $22/hour
Some caregiving roles are more than a job. This is one of them.
We are looking for a compassionate, skilled Russian-speaking caregiver to provide dedicated support to a warm and resilient woman living with ALS in Hamden, CT. As her condition has progressed, she relies on trusted, experienced hands for her daily comfort and care — and because she speaks primarily Russian, language isn't just a preference here. It's essential to her dignity and her ability to communicate her needs.
ALS has affected her mobility, neck control, and use of her arms and hands. She currently walks only a few steps with assistance and will likely transition to a wheelchair in the near future. She needs someone who understands the physical and emotional realities of ALS and who will show up every day with patience, skill, and genuine care.
If that describes you, we'd love to talk.
