[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother is coming to live with us. She can get around using a cane. We told her she has to give up her car. She is pretty good but still, aging has taken its toll, as it does. She’s in her 80s. She takes care of herself and doesn’t need assistance with bathing, eating, making herself something to eat, and so forth.

But I will go absolutely bonkers being the only person she relies on.
We were thinking we would hire someone 3 days a week to be a companion, driver, help her run errands or shop, take her to lunch, accompany her to doctors occasionally, etc.

Would care.com be an appropriate place to look? Where else? It would be great if the person could also tidy up on days my mom doesn’t feel like going anywhere or doing anything. Or maybe they could help walk the dogs on those days.

Is all this too much to ask for? I really do not know, since I have never hired someone for a position like this.

You aren’t hiring a housekeeper or a dog walker. If you insist on those things, most staff will leave you the moment a better offer pops up.[/quote]
