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 significant 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.
