I am in search of a part-time companion for my beloved grandparents to provide them company during the time my family is at work. Despite their age, my grandparents have managed to maintain their independence. However, their daily routine could benefit from a little assistance and someone to keep them company. Knowledge of Filipino/Tagalog is preferred as my grandparents are more comfortable communicating in this language.
Your role would involve preparing breakfast and a light lunch, and making sure they take their medicine on time. Their day could be brightened by enjoyable conversation, encouragement to participate in light physical activities such as walks, or maybe accompanying them on drives. They are still quite active and always have intriguing stories to share.
Additional responsibilities would also include changing the bed sheets weekly and aiding in carrying the laundry upstairs and downstairs. While they handle their own folding and my grandfather even enjoys cooking, your presence could be helpful and reassuring for their safety while they handle these tasks.
