Role OverviewWe are seeking a kind, patient, and mature Arabic-speaking woman to spend a few hours a day with our mother. The primary goal of this role is to provide meaningful social engagement and companionship in her native language while her primary caregiver (her husband) rests or attends to other tasks.
This is not a medical or heavy cleaning role; it is about presence, conversation, and emotional support.
Key Responsibilities
Conversation & Connection: Engaging in friendly chat, reminiscing about the "old days," or discussing light topics in Arabic.
Passive Supervision: Providing a calm presence to ensure she feels safe and settled while our father is in another room.
Light Activity: Reading aloud, listening to music together, or looking through photo albums.
Gentle Redirection: Using a soft touch and patient communication to ease any moments of confusion or restlessness.
Skills
Ideal Candidate
Fluent in Arabic: Must be able to converse easily in Levantine Arabic.
Mature Perspective: We are ideally looking for a retiree or a mature woman who can relate to our mother's generation and provide a peer-like atmosphere.
Dementia-Aware: A calm, non-confrontational demeanor is essential. Experience with memory loss is a plus, but a naturally patient heart is most important.
Reliable & Punctual: Someone who values consistency, as routine is very helpful for those with dementia.
Schedule A Note on Our EnvironmentOur home is a quiet and respectful environment. You will not be alone in the house, as our father will be present but occupied. We want someone who feels like a visiting friend rather than a "worker" to ensure our mother feels comfortable and at ease.
