Woman who is visually impaired, needs helper two times a week for approximately 4 hours each time. As a visually impaired person, she is not able to access services that are provided for the blind and is in need of assitance. These are mostly tasks done online, as she cannot see the computer, although help with the cat would be beneficial.  Payment would be $25/hour. Tasks for which she needs assistance include:

Food:

Order groceries online

Pick up groceries on the way to the house, for the following appointment.

Minimal meal prep such as, cooking chicken and cutting fruit and vegetables.

Computer help:

Ordering items on Amazon

Help with returns if necessary.

Filling out forms - for example requesting doctor appointments online and requesting service from the apartment landlord.

Reading through emails.

Cat:

She needs someone to hold the cat while she does some grooming.

Refill food and water.

Calendar:

Read the calendar and remind her of appointments. 

She would really like to have someone accompany her on walks outside. 

Please call Helen B at 317-847-9256, calling on the phone is better than text as those are hard to read.
