About who needs care: He has limited mobility which he finds enormously frustrating. He wants assistance with occasional trips to the doctor or to run errands, and with things around the house like moving and unpacking boxes so that he can sort through their contents and either find places for things around the house or give them away. About the care needs: My dad is a former English professor whose imagined ideal setup goes back to the time when he had always a collection of graduate students who could use some extra money in exchange for some hours of labor moving books or helping with other projects. The role would be best for a patient and thoughtful person who is intellectually curious - my dad can be a super interesting conversation partner and I think would benefit from some good company and conversation as much as from the material assistance with tasks he is too weak or shaky on his feet to do. And he has a sort of old-school resistance to the fact that he even needs help that can be frustrating, so I'm looking for someone who can approach that with patience and compassion. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, feeding, bathing / dressing, and mobility assistance.
