Willingness to help a senior with: housecleaning; or odd jobs; or mowing grass; or gardening; or shovelling snow; or packing belongings; or de-cluttering; or stacking wood; or window washing (just to name a few).
There is an application process that includes reference checks and an RCMP vulnerable sector background check.
Experience in one or more of the tasks.
The Yukon Council on Aging (YCOA) Seniors' Home & Yard Maintenance Program is a referral program that helps Yukon seniors, elders and those with disabilities remain independent in their own homes.
Our clients may need help with everything from mowing lawns to minor home repairs, household cleaning and snow shovelling.
Tasks can range from 1 to 2 hours or more; most clients can work around your schedule.
Jobs can vary from weekly or bi-weekly or a one time only task.
Seniors/clients get things done that they can't do themselves. Having someone shovel snow or clean, for instance, can make the difference between living independently and having to move.
Giving back helps you develop a sense of purpose in our community.
Workers get the chance to help a senior. In addition, workers are paid by the client, at the suggested minimum rate of $30.00 per hour.
