You will spend time together going to movies, bowling, or eating out (especially pizza). She also values working with personal assistants that enjoy planning and participating in arts and crafts activities.

Each day, you’ll assist her with personal care and household tasks such as cooking meals and tidying up her apartment. She needs substantial assistance with showering, dressing, eating, and using her adaptive equipment. You will assist her in managing her health care needs including medication administration and proper care when she is ill or injured.
