Looking for weekend help with dad
I’m looking for someone caring and dependable to help out with my dad, who is 87 years old. He’s a widower (my mom passed in July 2023) and honestly one of the friendliest, most patient people you’ll ever meet. He loves chatting and being around others. Dad has normal pressure hydrocephalus, walking is no longer an option so dad splits his time between his favorite living room chair where he reads, watches T.V and enjoys his non scheduled naps, and his wheelchair where he'll literally run laps around the main floor of the house with. Everything dad needs is on the main floor so obstacles such as stairs are not in the way. We live in Gatineau and are bilingual, but ideally we’d like someone who speaks English, since Dad feels most comfortable communicating in that language. What we need is someone who can: Be patient and supportive. Help with day-to-day activities and getting around Offer companionship and encouragement along the way Dependable and reliable, this is important as I need to know that you'll be here on time and that dad is well taken care of while I'm away at the office. We're looking for someone who can be here on weekends. If you’re kind, reliable, and enjoy helping people, we’d love to connect with you!
