Seeking Part-time Senior Care Provider In Elgin

About the job

About who needs care: Both of my knees and both shoulders are bone on bone so I walk slowly and I'm in a lot of pain. I take 18 prescription meds a day plus supplements. I have multiple health issues including diabetes 2 which is mostly controlled by diet. I need to try to walk more in the house and start physical therapy. I love animals and gardening which I haven't been able to do for a few years. I have a little Rat Terrier and a black kitten. I like to crchet but haven't been able to for awhile because of the terrible neuropathy in my hands. I've had neuropathy in my feet much longer than my hands and have had two toes amputated. I am dealing with a lot of grief because last April I found my fiance on the floor of our bedroom at his house and he was deceased it's going to take time, a lot of time, I miss him greatly. His daughters have been cruel to me. While I was in the hospital right after he passed, they gave away our dogs which we both loved dearly. I was only in the hospital foui days and had I known they were in danger, my friend would have picked them up. They kept, sold or threw away most of my belongings as I had lived at his house for a year and a half. I would like to get up around 10, check my sugar and blood pressure, have a little something for breakfast, take my morning meds and do a few exercises. Feed my fur babies and change their water in the kitchen and bathroom, clean litter box and new pee pads. Have a protein drink for lunch and watch some TV, cuddle with my fur babies. Microwave a dinner for supper around 6 p.m. After a few hours, do some more exercises. Read the Bible and pray. I'm a night owl so try to get to bed by midnight. About the care needs: They must love animals. I prefer someone lighthearted, someone to laugh with. Someone who likes to talk. I prefer someone who is a Christian, they don't have to go to church a lot, I haven't for a long time. Someone who wouldn't mind watering my indoor and outdoor plants and preparing me something to eat for supper. Someone who will take me to doctor's appointments. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, and companionship.
