What We're Looking For:
The ideal caregiver will be calm, patient, and bring positive energy to each visit. We need someone who is reliable and consistent, as maintaining the same caregiver is essential for building trust and routine.

Medication reminder experience and meal preparation skills are essential. The caregiver must speak English, Russian, or Urdu, and hold a valid driver's license for occasional transportation needs. This role requires someone who can provide companionship while remaining attentive to safety concerns and changing care needs.
