About the Client:

We're seeking a compassionate caregiver for a father living independently on an acreage outside of Shedden, Ontario (approximately 20-25 minutes from south London).

• Transport to medical appointments, errands, and grocery shopping
• Offer companionship and monitor overall wellbeing
• Communicate regularly with family members about their father's condition and needs

What We're Looking For:

The ideal caregiver is calm, patient, and brings positive energy to each visit. You should be someone who takes initiative when needed while respecting the client's independence and dignity.

Clear communication with the family is important, as is the ability to work independently in a rural setting. English-speaking required.
