Looking for an occasional live-in caregiver for my mom.
I live with her most of the time and am looking for someone to live in for a full week or two at a time, while I take a break.
I am open to hiring two people who could cover various weeks, or half the week. Times may be changeable so we are looking for someone who is FLEXIBLE - or RETIRED and only needing a part-time job.
This would be part-time for the summer near the Upper Valley.
We are looking for someone who:
Is a caring, dependable, honest, responsible person.
Can speak English well.
Is in good physical shape, so you can accompany my mom on long walksand help motivate her.
Who is full of common sense!
Is careful around Covid in your life and would be careful with my mom.
Is able to wear a mask, and will remind her to wear a mask while going indoors to public spaces.
Knows about computers and iphones, and can guide my mom and answer questions
Can listen well to directions and can report well, by text or phone call to me, what is going on when I am not there.
Could bring her to doctor's appointments and take notes.
Could shop for food and think of new tasty and healthy meals to cook with my mom.
Is organized and would like to tidy up and keep things orderly.
Is someone who drives safely.
Would be willing to work alongside her in the garden.
Has a cheerful curious attitude but also knows how to be quiet and give space.
Has a good attention to detail and can be vigilant.
Would like to go on walks and encourage her to exercise, and can lead her in PT exercises.
If you have experience in eldercare or working with elders with memory challenges all the better!
We would pay by the week for a weekly shift.
There is time each day to take a break but we are looking for someone who can generally keep their focus on my mom.
Please email back, and let me know something about you and your experience. Then we can set up a time to talk.
