Companion Care Needed For My Mother In Houston

About who needs care: My mother has some confusion. My husband and I both work from home and will prepare meals/medications for her, but we need someone to stay with her while we are in meetings during working hours (9-5p). She enjoys gardening, artwork, and being out in nature. Basically someone to keep her company and possibly get her snacks throughout the day. About the care needs: What type of personality would be a good fit? Someone who is very patient and has listening ear. Are there any specialized skills they need? Also, someone who has experience dealing with people with dementia. Should they have any specific hobbies/interests? Nature and art Services needed include: companionship.
