Help with a hobby farm and household in Montana, United States

  Description

  I am looking for a caretaker to help my mother. There are many things she needs help with on the property and in the home. At the moment she has three border collies, three sheep, two horses and chickens. Short term memory issues (from Alzheimer's type dementia) and age are making management more challenging. Help with household tasks, meal prep, property management and general upkeep. She lives in a desirable location, near Whitefish Mountain Ski Resort and Glacier National Park. She is no longer driving herself, so needs transportation occasionally but generally enjoys being home in the farm. Companion care and walks with the dogs on the farm.
