  Description

  Greetings! Do you have a kind and loving heart with a gentle spirit? Are you clean, quiet, and courteous? Do you have a special gift for caring for the elderly? Is your dream to be in beautiful Southern Portugal and live for free?
  
  We are an awesome 91 year old mother and her daughter, and we are looking for the ideal person to join our team! We need help with such a funny, smart, and beautiful elder mom. She is just needing extra special care at this point in her fascinating life and we both need general help with a similar joyous attitude of gratitude. We need help with occasional cleaning, washing and/or cooking, but mainly hanging out at home with mom in one of the best places on the planet! Our fully furnished beautiful 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment with long range Mountain Views is amazing, it is in walking distance to the most beautiful beaches, delicious restaurants, shops and entertainment, including the main bus station and train station. Our place has 3 balconies, large kitchen, giant roof patio with mountain, town. and ocean views, washer, internet, cable, large TV and more.
  
  You would have your own awesome private furnished bedroom with balcony, and shared bathroom (includes shower) with mom. (Mom lives in her "special room" in our spacious living room almost always in her recliner chair because of her heart condition). Mom does not need anyone to “sit and stare at her” as she says laughing, or even be in the same room, but it's really good to have someone home to help relieve her overburdened daughter and only child. Someone who is a homebody, who loves to read, paint, play mellow music, cook, watch movies, and is potentially a writer and digital nomad who would love this mutually beneficial work “enlightened elder exchange experience".
  
  We are seeking the right person who meets all our criteria, who is fun and funny, and loves to bring good energy to a beautiful home that simply needs elder care.
  
  You would stay/live with only 2 women, a super fun & creative middle aged daughter & her super awesome mama. Even though we wish we could accommodate all the wonderful people who have already contacted us, because of our unique situation, a single woman is preferred.
  
  We have no dietary restrictions. Beer & wine is fine. No drugs, cigarette smoking, nor heavy drinking. No guests nor pets please. Obviously, you need to not have any kind of criminal record and be willing to adhere to the basic rules of house etiquette.
  
  If it sounds like we can all be each other’s angels, please let us know. Available immediately.
  
  We look forward to hearing from you!

Super nice and easygoing mother and daughter. An ideal situation for the right person. Hours are flexible. Homebodies appreciated.
