Daria B, looking for a companion at Lagoa (8400-403)

Experienced helper needed for elderly couple (80+)

Hello,
we are looking for a reliable and experienced helper to support an elderly couple (both 80+ years old) in their home.

Both are independent and mobile - they drive, do their own shopping, and manage daily life well. However, they occasionally need assistance at home and a trusted person nearby in case support is needed.

Responsibilities may include:
- Being present and available if help is needed
- Light household support and occasional cleaning, doing the laundry (3 x week)
- Assistance with small daily tasks
- No cooking help needed

Help in case of an emergency (e.g. giving prescribed medication, calling an ambulance, basic support until help arrives)

Region: Algarve
Language: English or German

Requirements:
- Experience with elderly people (home care, nursing, or similar background preferred)
- Calm, responsible, and trustworthy personality
- Ability to react appropriately in unexpected or emergency situations
- Reliability and discretion

This is not full-time medical care, but we are specifically looking for someone experienced, so the couple can feel safe and well supported.
If this sounds like a good fit, we would be happy to hear from you and provide further details.
