 Getting her safely out of the car, onto her scooter, and settled before anything else and you never leave her alone in a car, a restaurant, etc.
 You'll be trained hands-on by her caregiver for the past year. Her routines and the way she's moved, dressed, and cared for are what make her feel safe.
 Into physical fitness. You genuinely enjoy staying active. You'll go with her to Pilates twice a week, ride bikes and walk with her, and help her through her workouts. It is very important for her to stay active.

 Administrative support. You'll regularly help with emails, paperwork, other admin tasks, and scheduling and managing medical appointments.

Required Skills

 Strong personality. You're personable, conversational, and fun to be around. She wants a companion, not just a helper.

 Multitasker and delegator. You can juggle appointments, errands, and her needs and you know when to hand something off.
 Tech skills. Proficient with Apple products (iPhone, iPad, Mac) and Microsoft Word. You're comfortable with technology and can help her navigate these things.

 Fashion sense. You can put together a sharp, age-appropriate outfit and you care about how she presents herself.
 Ability to think a step ahead. Cars off, doors shut, keys in hand.
 Respect for routine. She likes things a certain way, like her coffee stop. Learning and protecting her routines are part of the job.
 Excellent communication.
 Reliable transportation.
