About who needs care: My mom had a brain surgery in 2020, which has led to decreased/slowed mobility/stability and physical strength. Additionally, she has had a few seizures this year caused by ongoing medical problems. My oldest brother lives with her along with my nephew, but needing someone to help watch over her a few nights out of the week to help with scheduling/give them a break. She is a night owl! She heads to bed between 9pm-11 p.m. but doesn't usually fall asleep until 2 a.m. watching her favorite TV shows. Every now and then, she may want a mid-night snack and may need assistance walking to the bathroom. She is an independent little lady though! About the care needs: Patience and a listening ear! My mom has suffered quite a bit - loss of a husband followed by loss of a son just a couple years apart. This, along with her own slew of cancer struggles, can lead to bouts of depression. She comes from the age/belief where therapy isn't her "thing", so she will rant/vent to whomever she can, or she may be short-sentenced at times. During these times, she really benefits from a listening ear! She fills her time with watching the news, specifically FOX. So someone willing to hear rants about the economy and society! But if you can get her talking about traveling (my dad was Airforce and she looovveeedddd their time spent in Europe), food (she's from the Philippines so if ya know, ya know!), or family (she loves learning about other people and hearing how their kids are, etc), it does wonders for her! Skills: just cleaning really. She loves to clean but can't do as much now Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, and companionship.
