Evening Personal Care & Companion Support

Nanaimo, BC

Approximately 3–4 evenings per week | Starting around 5:00–6:00 PM and continuing into the evening

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for someone special to become part of a small, compassionate circle of support around an incredible woman in our community.

This role is about so much more than caregiving. It's about building trust, sharing conversations over dinner, tending to the garden, creating a peaceful home, and walking alongside someone with kindness through both the easy days and the more challenging ones.

The woman you'll be supporting lives with complex medical conditions that can affect her physical strength, memory, cognitive processing, and overall energy. Her needs change from day to day. Some evenings she may simply enjoy company while preparing a meal together or spending time in the garden. Other evenings she may require more hands-on support, such as assistance with showering, mobility, respiratory care, or responding to a medical event.

Because of this, I'm looking for someone who is both compassionate and clinically confident. The ideal person is able to remain calm during unexpected situations, respond thoughtfully during seizures or other medical changes, and is comfortable administering medications according to an established care plan and training.

One of the most important parts of this role is understanding that accepting support isn't always easy.



I hope to find someone who approaches care gently—someone who knows how to preserve dignity, encourage independence, and offer help in a way that feels collaborative rather than intrusive.

Your evenings may include:

- Preparing nourishing meals together (if you love cooking, that's a wonderful bonus!)
- Light housekeeping and creating a calm, welcoming home.
- Watering or tending to the garden.
- Assisting with personal care and mobility when needed.
- Supporting respiratory care as required.
- Administering medications according to the care plan.
- Providing companionship, conversation, and emotional support.
- Observing changes in health and responding with thoughtful, compassionate care.

More than anything, I'm looking for someone who notices the little things. Someone who is observant, emotionally grounded, patient, and genuinely enjoys caring for others. Experience in home care, personal support, nursing, or a similar field is important because the role does require medical judgement and confidence, but kindness will always be just as valuable.If this resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you. Tell me a little about yourself, what drew you into caring for others, and what you enjoy outside of work. Experience is important, but finding someone whose values align with this role matters just as much. I look forward to meeting you.
