Companion Care Needed

I'm looking for a compassionate, dependable caregiver for my mother on an as-needed basis. I live with her and provide her daily care, but I need someone I can rely on when I need to travel or be away from home. Duties may include companionship, meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, and helping her feel safe and comfortable while I'm gone. This is not a regular schedule, but hours will usually be arranged in advance. Experience with seniors, reliable transportation, references, and a background check are preferred. We have two friendly dogs, so applicants should be comfortable with pets.
