We are seeking a compassionate and emotionally intelligent companion to support a 79-year-old widow living alone in Meadowbrook, PA.

Ideal Personality Traits:

  • Naturally warm, kind, and emotionally intelligent

  • Patient, upbeat, and conversational, with a gentle sense of humor

  • Skilled at setting boundaries without being confrontational or directive

  • Respectful of personal space and capable of guiding routines without overwhelming the client

  • Able to remain calm and positive when faced with repetitive or passive-aggressive behaviors

Preferred Experience:

  • Experience working with clients who have dementia, particularly in mid-stages with cognitive decline and behavioral patterns

  • Caregivers with high emotional resilience and patience, even without formal dementia training, are welcome to apply

  • Previous success navigating complex or sensitive interpersonal dynamics in caregiving roles

Candidate Preferences:

Due to the client’s personal preferences and comfort level:

  • Confident and emotionally attuned

  • Physically active and fit, in alignment with the client’s expectations

  • Must be reliable, professional, and sincerely dedicated to providing high-quality care
