Posted by Carol S. on 4/2/2026

  • $10.00 per hour

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.

This is not a medical or nursing role, but a companionship role. You will be there to connect, encourage, and share time with her.

What You Would Do Together:
- Light conversation and reminiscing
- Gentle video-based exercises (e.g., seated yoga, stretching) you would follow along with her
- Short walks outdoors (weather permitting)
- Simple games, cards, or puzzles
- Maybe listening to music or looking at photo albums

Schedule & Logistics:
2–3 days per week ( Monday - Friday)
2-3 hours per session, ideally in the late morning or early afternoon
Starting within the next few weeks

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
- No heavy housekeeping
