— Must Love Elders, Errands, and a Little Bit of Chaos
Hi there,
I'm looking for a kind, capable, and consistently reliable 'home helper' to support me and my amazing 93-year-old mom. The ideal person sees this less as a job and more as a calling—to be a steady presence in our lives and a true companion to my mom, while helping keep the household running smoothly. On top of everything a positive disposition and great sense of humor are plusses!
Job Details:
15–20 hours per week at $20/hour
Light housekeeping
Light cooking and meal prep
Light gardening
Running errands (grocery store, post office, etc.)
Occasional appointments (doctors, nails!)
Some weeks may require more hours — flexibility is a plus
Occasional overnight stays when I travel
About Us:
I’m a busy woman running a business and working two other jobs that actually fulfil life purpose for me all while trying to spend quality time with my mom and keep our property humming along beautifully. Its A LOT. MAYDAY! I have acrylics and don't mind getting them dirty! Looking for someone who can help me with the stuff I do!
You’d be helping me so I can be more present with my mom AND ideally you’ll become someone she cherishes, too.
Mom is a sharp-minded retired RN and interior decorator with a bad back — but that’s about it. She loves her laptop and may need light computer help now and then. She also loves MSNBC and CNN — so if you don’t enjoy chatting about politics, this might not be the best fit.
Requirements:
Must have reliable, presentable transportation
Must provide proof of up-to-date auto insurance monthly
Must be okay with stairs (there are lots — consider it a workout)
Must pass a background check. Must also have verifiable references
No smoking allowed on the premises.
Must have a kind heart, steady hands, and good energy
Bonus Points If You:
Love talking with elders
Have a nurturing spirit
Enjoy getting your steps in
Have basic tech skills (light computer help is appreciated)
Want long-term work (3–5+ years) — please don’t apply if you’re only available short term
Can occasionally stay overnight when I’m out of town
Are open to either 1099 or W2 classification (I can accommodate either)
This is a home full of heart. We're only inviting good souls into our space. If we bond, we’re going to care about you — and we’re hoping you feel the same.
If this sounds like the right fit for you, please reach out. We’re ready to meet the next beautiful soul meant to join our little ecosystem.
With gratitude and a hopeful heart
Linda
