About who needs care: My Husband a "body double" to work along side. I have difficulty organizing, cleaning, cooking, dog walking, making appointments, laundry, figuring out my medications, lawn maintenance, staying in touch with family and downsizing. We eat mostly frozen dinners. I am 74, my husband will be 70 next year and had a brain aneurysm 7 years ago. We can care for ourselves and our dog but this leaves no time for my art. I have a friend who wants to help me mount a show, but, ADHD often leaves me overwhelmed. If I had help with the other things, I could focus on my art while I still can. My hands are becoming painful. I do glass work and have two kilns. We are both night owls. I am usually up on my computer until nearly dawn and I am not ready to be active until about 3 p.m. If my floors were clean, the kitchen clean, a meal prepared, and the dog had been taken down to the field, I would go to one of my studios and do art work for several hours, then I would try to focus on reaching out to my family and even organizing my ancestry research. I have lots of projects and my artistic interests are broad. We are both sensitive and engaged in our interests. We are kind and willing to work with someone who is willing to help us get some of our needs met. We have some heavier things that need to be moved. I would appreciate having someone who can see what needs to be done and has some appreciation of the challenges of being neurodiverse. I don't know if such a gentle, honest, hard working, soul exists, but, I am hopeful. About the care needs: I have many creative interests. To have someone assist in organizing shows and sales would be a plus. Understanding the talents and shortcomings of ADHD, would be very welcome. Sometimes I need a medical advocate to negotiate prescriptions and appointments. We are more interested in having a loving person who can help us get things done, even if they have to help us hire someone else. In the past though, we have had people arrange help for us that was way out of our comfort zone financially. Generally speaking, we are hoping for someone with a pleasant and non-judgemental nature, who is willing to help with all nature of things. Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, and companionship.
