Companion Care / Respite Care Provider – A Role with Heart, Art, and Conversation

Madison, WI | Part-Time | 25.00/hour (based on experience)

Are you someone who loves deep conversation, art, and making a real difference—one laugh, one watercolor, one walk at a time?

We’re looking for a warm, thoughtful companion for a truly remarkable woman. She’s a retired leader in government and nonprofits, a lifelong artist, a Harvard grad, and one of the most genuinely curious people you’ll ever meet. She lives for great conversation—politics, gardening, feminism, books, you name it—and she still finds joy in teaching, drawing, and sharing stories.

She’s easy to be with, witty, and full of wisdom. She might need a gentle nudge now and then—and she’ll forget she just washed her hair—but she’ll also listen intently, connect ideas in surprising ways, and make you feel truly seen.

This isn’t your average caregiving job. It’s a rare mix of hands-on support and intellectually rich companionship. One moment you’re helping with stretches or prepping a snack, the next you’re exploring a virtual museum, baking together, or getting editing tips from a former writing pro. You’ll bring your own interests to the table too—she’s endlessly curious about the people she spends time with.

This isn’t just a job—it’s a relationship. You’ll get to know a fascinating woman who has lived a purpose-filled life and still finds wonder in art, ideas, and connection. If you’re the kind of person who values both intellect and heart, and who finds meaning in showing up fully for someone, we’d love to hear from you.

Please include a cover letter—we want to know what draws you to this kind of work and what makes you you.
