The experience

We are looking for someone to help us by accompanying Elisa, a 96-year-old grandmother who only needs someone to keep her company, talk with her, remind her to take her pills, and eat with her. She goes to the bathroom by herself, doesn't need help for that; she just spends a lot of time alone and loves to talk, so we need someone to spend time with her, cook for the two of you (you and her) and remind her to take her pills.

Program Details

We are looking for someone to help us by accompanying Elisa, a 96-year-old grandmother who only needs someone to keep her company, have conversations, remind her to take her pills, and eat with her.
We are located in Indiana, so everything is surrounded by nature and she is at her daughter's stand, El Mirador Indiana, which lately isn't very busy because they have a stall at the market where Elisa feels uncomfortable since she is only seated when she goes there.
She goes to the bathroom alone; she doesn't need help with that, only that she spends a lot of time alone and likes to talk a lot, so we need someone to spend time with her, cook for the two of you (you and her) and remind her of her pills
She is not a stressful lady, but her daughter works from 6am to 4pm, so she can't be with her all day and we need help with her.


Activities & Shift

We want you to spend from 8am to 12pm with her, so that she has breakfast with her and lunch with her, then return to our Lodge, where you will stay.
We ask that you cook for yourself and for the grandmother, and have a lot of conversation with her. She is a very talkative lady and lately she has been feeling lonely.


Rules

Do not use your phone while you are with her, as we want her not to feel ignored.
Prepare breakfast and lunch for the two of you (you and Elisa).
Arrive at the indicated time, since her daughter leaves around that time and we don't want her to worry about whether she has eaten.
Remind her of her pill times.
