**UPDATE: Looking for Part-Time / Potential Permanent Homemaker-Plus Assistance (North Branch Area)**
Hi everyone! Most people in the North Branch area know me—my name is Amy Falk. My husband and I currently live in Southeast Minnesota, but I am reaching out with an updated post as our situation has changed.
I am currently in the hospital, but as soon as I am released, I will be heading up to North Branch to stay for 3 weeks. Unfortunately, my husband's health is worse than we originally thought. Because of this, what started as a stay in North Branch may or may not become permanent after this three-week period. While it is an unknown at this point and I won't know more until after those three weeks, I am looking to connect with and hire staff now just in case a permanent move back to the area happens.
Because of current health issues, I have approval for up to 15 hours a day, 7 days a week for a Homemaker-Plus worker. Whether you are looking for temporary, as-needed work or a position that could transition into a permanent role, this could be a great fit for you!
**Details & Duties:**
* **Pay:** Approximately $20/hour
* **Employment Note:** This is not private pay. Employment and payroll are processed directly through SEMCIL (Southeastern Minnesota Center for Independent Living), based in Rochester, MN.
* **Location:** North Branch, MN area
**Duties include (but are not limited to):**
* Light homemaking and meal prep/serving
* Assistance getting up, dressed, and out of bed
* Occasional bathing assistance
* Walking together outside (weather permitting)
* Occasional help with Benny, my 2-year-old German Shepherd, who is currently a service dog in training
**Next Steps & Contact:**
Because I am still in the hospital and things are in flux, I would love to connect now so we can start the onboarding process with SEMCIL and be ready when I’m discharged.
Please text me at **651-396-1805** if you are interested or have any questions! (Text is preferred right now while I’m in the hospital).
Feel free to share this post with anyone in the area who might be interested. Thank you so much!

Hello friends and neighbors! 👋 Want to see some artwork you've never laid eyes on before? 👀🎨
​Whether we've been friends for years or we've just met since I moved to Lewiston a year ago, some of you might not know that I’ve been a digital and computer artist since 2004!
​We’ve officially set up a separate Instagram account just for my artwork. My normal Instagram isn't going anywhere, but this new page is strictly dedicated to the creative side of things.
​Because I've been creating for so long, there is a bunch of unseen, never-before-posted art already waiting for you over there. I'd be thrilled if you came over and gave the new page a follow! Come follow along and see a whole new side of Pawsome Adventures—and of me! ✨
​(My main goal is just to share my art, but if a piece ever catches your eye, feel free to ask about it—prints are available and proceeds support Pawsome Adventures!) 🐾
