Elderly Man Looking for Caregiver Companion in Kitsilano

AU
Active:

My 81-year-old father is looking for someone to keep him company on some weekday evenings and Saturdays from 5:30 pm to 9 pm. The pay rate would be $25/hour in the Kitsilano neighborhood of Vancouver. My father loves doing three things with his caregivers: playing cards (in the kitchen), talking about a wide range of life topics, and mostly watching Netflix movies (in his bedroom). It is quite important that his caregivers enjoy these three things, too. He is pretty easy-going, but he does not like it when caregivers use their phones a lot for texting. Also, he is having growing fears that almost every food he eats is causing him dry mouth. So, please don't bring any kind of food for him or me to eat. In general, he seems to like caregivers who are patient, kind, talkative, and cheerful. He enjoys it when a caregiver makes comments on the movies while watching them. This helps him relax and enjoy the films because he feels the caregiver is interested in them. It might be easier if the caregiver knows a little about the card games 31, and Crazy 8s. Because of his age, he is part of the vulnerable population in the current Covid 19 pandemic. Please do not come to visit him if you have any of the following: 1) flu symptoms, 2) been in contact with someone within the last 14 days who has Covid 19, or 3) been in contact with someone within the last 14 days who has recently returned to Canada. If possible, we would like it if the Saturday evening caregiver has no other clients or just a few. If the caregiver works at a seniors' care facility or long-term facility, we would like to know the status of Covid 19 cases in that facility.
