Live-In Caregiver — British Properties, West Vancouver
About the Role
A warm, family-oriented household in the British Properties (West Vancouver) is looking for an experienced, compassionate live-in caregiver for our father, age 91. He is kind, warm, well-travelled, and deeply family-oriented — he lights up around his grandchildren, who live close by and visit often. He uses a wheelchair and needs support with daily transfers and personal care, but remains engaged, social, and enjoys good conversation.
This is a genuinely supported caregiving role, not a solo one. Family is closely involved day-to-day, a daughter covers the afternoon shift and rotating days off, and a professional cleaner comes in weekly to help with the heavier housekeeping. You won't be carrying this alone.
Schedule
- Shift: 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM, six days per week (afternoons 1–5 PM covered by family)
- Day off: One full day off per week, covered by family
- Backup coverage: Family is on hand for coverage during illness, appointments, or time off
- Live-in accommodation: Private, comfortable bedroom with a private (not ensuite) bathroom
- Responsibilities
- Transfers and mobility assistance (wheelchair)
- Toileting and personal care
- Meal preparation and mealtime assistance
- Medication reminders
- Laundry and light housekeeping (weekly cleaner handles deeper cleaning)
- Warm, attentive companionship
