Description We're seeking a compassionate caregiver to support an independent 76-year-old woman in her home. She's warm, easy-going, and living alone in an apartment while maintaining much of her independence. The family has noticed some mild memory decline and wants to ensure she has regular companionship and practical support.
About the Client: She's generally independent but experiences occasional dizziness with certain movements like bending. She values her autonomy and responds best to gentle guidance rather than direct instruction. She enjoys conversation, staying active, and maintaining her home but needs support with tasks that have become challenging.
Responsibilities: Accompany her on weekly walks for exercise and fresh air
Guide straightforward senior exercise routines using light weights in her living room
Assist with food preparation including chopping and prepping vegetables
Perform light housekeeping, particularly tasks requiring bending like cleaning the bathtub
Provide medication reminders as needed
Offer companionship and natural conversation during visits
Provide gentle memory prompts and redirection when needed
What We’re Looking For: A calm, patient caregiver with a gentle demeanor
Someone who brings positive energy and communicates clearly
Ability to take the client's lead and encourage her preferences rather than directing activities
Female caregiver preferred
Experience with light housekeeping, meal preparation, and senior exercise
Understanding of working with clients experiencing mild cognitive changes
Schedule: Tuesdays and Wednesdays,



1:00 PM to 3:00 PM or 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM (2 hours each day). Potential to add Saturday afternoons or additional weekday hours as care progresses. This is a long-term position with consistent weekly hours.
The family is involved and supportive, with the daughter working in London and visiting regularly. They're looking for someone reliable who will become a trusted, consistent presence in their mother's life.

Additional Considerations Looking for a gentle, kind person with a calm demeanor who can take the client's lead rather than direct activities. The client is Christian and this is important to her, though she is not pushy about it. She prefers a female caregiver. The client is easy-going but can be easily influenced, so we need someone who will encourage her preferences rather than impose their own. She experiences dizziness with bending, so tasks requiring significant bending (like cleaning the bathtub) are needed. She lives alone and is still quite independent at 76, though there has been some decline in memory and cognitive ability. Companionship is important as the family worries about loneliness.
