Cool Job for a Cool Person in West Hollywood – Be an assistant and Helper to a 50 year old dad that had a stroke and is not ambulatory
We are looking for a kind, smart, and easygoing person to support a bright young man who is in recovery after a stroke. He loves talking politics and researching world events. This is not a medical job — it’s about being present, helping out, and bringing good energy to his day.
What You’ll Be Doing:
Helping with light physical support like transfers from bed to chair (he’s strong but not yet ambulatory) he is thin and 5 ft 8
Accompanying him to physical therapy appointments (Lawndale area, 2–3 times week) so you must have a good driving record
Hanging out, researching interesting topics, watching documentaries or reading aloud — anything to keep his mind engaged
Offering quiet, respectful presence — privacy is important, but so is company
Being around on Tues, Wed, Thurs, and Saturdays (with possible overnights when his wife travels for a few days in summer). She could be traveling for up to 6 days twice during the summer with her kids, so please be available to stay over.
About the Home:
Warm, loving family — wife works part time
Full-time housekeeper helps with meals and family logistics
Two teenagers (13 and 16) who are pretty independent
Calm, respectful, and supportive environment
Pay to Schedule: – glad to pay 40 horus a week even if you are not working!
Approx. 30–40 hours per week
$35 hour (cash), plus $400 night if staying over during travel periods
Long-term role — we’re hoping for someone who can stay a year or more
Who You Are:
Thoughtful and observant
Empathetic
smart
Patient and curious
Strong enough to assist with transfers
Maybe a former personal assistant or someone who just “gets people”
You stay off your phone and show up — that’s everything here
If you’re looking for meaningful work with a wonderful family — this could be it.
If this sounds like your kind of job, The Help Company would love to hear from you. Apply now — the right person will know this is more than just a job. It’s a chance to truly make a difference.
