About who needs care: We are seeking a compassionate and attentive caregiver to spend the day with my mother-in-law on Saturday, May 25th,from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
She is in her 90s and good health, with no underlying conditions. She is quite independent, using a stairlift for mobility and requiring no assistance with the restroom.
Her typical day includes:
Morning:
Enjoying breakfast and resting inside or outside, depending on the weather.
Midday:
Having a light lunch consisting of soup and fruit.
Afternoon:
Relaxing outside with a glass of Ribena or coffee if the weather permits. She prefers weak coffee with milk and enjoys watching Downton Abbey or the news.
Evening:
Around 5:00 PM, she likes to have a glass of Baileys and some potato chips.
We also have a small, friendly Lhasa Apso named Max who will be at home.
Your responsibilities will include ensuring her comfort throughout the day, providing companionship, and assisting with light tasks if needed.
Experience with elderly care is preferred but not required. Your presence will allow us to celebrate my wife's birthday with peace of mind. If you are reliable, and caring, and enjoy spending time with seniors, we would love to hear from you.
