There's no experience needed for this job as you'll learn everything you need to do on the job. Just need a willingness to learn. Best way to describe the job is you are my arms and legs.
I am in a powered chair as I have MD. Best way to describe my muscular dystrophy is that I can't use my arms or legs. So I simply need someone to be my arms and legs for me. The job is helping me run my family household and to help me be me, so every day is different.
