Hands-on Care Needed For Myself In Arlington

About the job

About who needs care: I'm in my 30s and currently undergoing medical evaluations for a potential autoimmune condition, with fatigue and neutropenia being major concerns. I have a bone marrow biopsy scheduled soon, so I'm looking for someone who can accompany me to and from the procedure, offer calm emotional support, and stay nearby afterward to make sure I'm okay. Because I'm immunocompromised, I'm extra cautious about exposure and need someone mindful of hygiene and boundaries. Due to the fatigue, even basic tasks like cooking, cleaning, or running errands can feel overwhelming. While this is initially a one-day need, depending on how I feel after the procedure, I may want occasional or ongoing support with light housekeeping, meal prep, or errands. I value peace, reliability, emotional intelligence, and gentle presence. I'm independent and used to handling a lot, but right now I could use some support as I focus on healing. About the care needs: I'm looking for someone calm, grounded, emotionally mature, and respectful of boundaries. A gentle, nurturing presence would be idealsomeone who can offer support without being overbearing. Bonus if they're intuitive and can anticipate needs without me having to explain everything. They don't need medical training, but experience with post-procedure care or working with someone with fatigue or chronic illness is a plus. Reliability, cleanliness, and good communication matter a lot. It's also important that they understand personal space, and I'd feel most comfortable with someone who is kind but not overly chatty unless I initiate conversation. Someone who enjoys creating a peaceful atmosphere, is fine with quiet, and knows how to make others feel safe and cared for would be a perfect fit. Services needed include: transportation, meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, companionship, feeding, and bathing / dressing.
