About this role
Wellthy Care Network is connecting caregivers with a 63-year-old client in Santa Monica who has Multiple Sclerosis and Epilepsy and is looking for a tech-savvy companion roughly 17.5 hours per week. The role centers on social engagement and practical support rather than medical care—the client manages her own medication and personal hygiene independently. You'd help her stay connected to her interests in technology, current events, and entertainment while handling tech troubleshooting, meal prep, light housekeeping, transportation, and gentle mobility assistance as needed.
This position suits someone with at least a year of senior caregiving experience who is genuinely comfortable with consumer technology and home electronics. You'll need a valid driver's license, insured vehicle, and willingness to register as an IHSS Provider in Los Angeles County (or be registered already). The schedule is flexible around a preference for mornings, typically three days per week for five to six hours at a time, and the home is pet-free and non-smoking. Compensation is $19–$20 per hour, aligned with LA County IHSS rates.
This is a direct hire by the family, not an agency employment arrangement. You'll need to pass a background check and provide proof of legal work authorization.
