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

  Description

  I am looking for a companion to help my mother. Companion care, cooking and walks with the dogs on the farm.
  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, 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.
