Our dear mother, Eleanor, is a vibrant 83-year-old who has spent her life nurturing the earth and everyone around her. A passionate gardener, Eleanor has always found peace in the simple joy of watching her roses bloom. As she gracefully ages, her arthritis has made it difficult to maintain her beloved garden as well as she once did. We're looking for a compassionate individual to spend time with Eleanor, supporting her physically and preventing the isolation that comes with these new challenges.Eleanor's days are filled with the scent of lavender and the soft melodies of classical music. Each morning, she enjoys a cup of tea on the porch, watching the sunlight dance through the leaves. Your role will involve assisting Eleanor in safely navigating her garden pathways, helping her manage light weeding, and ensuring she remains socially engaged by coordinating occasional visits with her gardening club friends. While she tends to her plants, you might prepare a simple, healthy lunch, sharing stories as she recounts tales from her past adventures in various gardens.We seek someone with a minimum of two years’ experience in senior care, bringing both warmth and understanding to Eleanor's routine. Your days will be enriched with laughter, the joy of nature, and the rewarding experience of keeping Eleanor's love for her garden alive. Plus, a friendly tabby cat named Buttercup will keep you company, often found sunning herself amongst the daisies. Senior caregiving in Calgary means providing vital support in a city that values community. You might be assisting a senior in a quiet neighborhood like Varsity or providing companionship in a modern condo downtown, helping them access local services and enjoy the city's parks. Immediate start, competitive pay. Pay range: $18-40 per hour.
