Our Grandpa Michael, a delightful retired train conductor, has spent his life echoing the rhythm of train tracks. Now, in his twilight years, his greatest pleasure is sharing tales of his adventures and showcasing his extensive train model collection to anyone willing to listen. Though his mind is sharp, he needs compassionate hands to support his physical frailty—primarily due to mobility issues.Every morning, Grandpa Michael enjoys a slow stroll around his garden, observing the squirrels play, and sometimes, a train rolls past, bringing a twinkle to his eyes. He requires an experienced caregiver who can lovingly assist him with these morning walks, ensuring his safety and that he takes in every moment. Join him in savoring a cup of tea as you listen to his stories of the rails, reminding him to take his morning medication. The role also involves light housekeeping duties, like tidying up his train room, to ensure a safe environment for his little escapades around the house.As the sun sets, Grandpa Michael loves to unwind watching old documentaries about trains or classic Western films, occasionally joined by our Maine Coon cat, Whiskers, who loves to curl up beside him. We need someone with a minimum of 10 years of experience in elder care to respect and nurture this gentle soul. If you have a warm heart and hands, and you find joy in engaging conversations and companionship, you might be the perfect match for our treasured grandpa.
