We are seeking a kind, patient, and mature companion for our 81-year-old mother. She is mobile and living at home with family, but we would like her to have more dedicated social engagement and gentle activity during the week.

2-3 hours per session, ideally in the late morning or early afternoon

Location: North Charlotte
What We Are Looking For:
- A mature adult (25+ preferred) who is reliable, calm, and adaptable
- Non-smoker (non-negotiable)
- Has own reliable transportation
- Comfortable with an older adult who has some memory changes and may need gentle redirection or encouragement
- Able to be both encouraging when she is feeling low-energy and calming when she is feeling anxious or overwhelmed
- Sympathetic, trustworthy, and observant (will let us know if you notice changes in her mood or physical state)
What This Is Not:
- Not a medical or nursing role
- No bathing, toileting, or hands-on personal care required
