We are looking for an empathetic and active caregiver for a mobile senior lady living in Dippoldiswalde, a charming small town near Dresden (approx. 30 minutes by bus). The senior is sociable, active, and independent in basic hygiene, but requires support in daily life due to memory and temporal orientation issues.
Caregiver tasks include providing companionship, engaging in joint activities and walks, ensuring adequate fluid intake, and light household management such as cooking, cleaning, and shopping. No night duties or transfer assistance are required, as the senior is independently mobile.
The caregiver will live in a nice apartment on the second floor (with an elevator) and will have their own room. A shared kitchen and bathroom are available. The area is well-connected, with a bus stop and shops within walking distance.
The assignment starts on October 20, 2026.
Requirements
- Good knowledge of German
- Experience in caring for individuals with memory problems
- Patience, empathy, and an active approach
- Willingness to work in a household where the senior smokes
