Looking for a Compassionate and Compatible Female HPC Provider

A vibrant and independent 24-year-old woman is seeking a consistent female Homemaker/Personal Care (HPC) provider—up to 15 hours per week. She’s looking for someone who can offer companionship and support in a way that feels natural and genuine, not clinical.

She would love to connect with a provider who is closer to her age, shares similar interests, and truly enjoys spending time together. She values someone who is attentive, present, and not distracted by their phone, and who treats her as an equal rather than a “client.”

Schedule:

Day and evening hours and some weekends (Saturday/Sunday) are preferred. Flexibility is key—she’s looking for someone who can adapt and work with her to plan outings and activities around her work schedule.

Ideal Provider:

An independent provider is ideal, but she’s also open to working with an agency if she can meet and interview one consistent staff person to ensure a good match.

About Her:

She’s creative, funny, and full of personality. As a psychic medium with an appreciation for the unusual, she loves ghost hunting, haunted places and objects, making TikToks, crafting, renaissance fairs, and oddities. She enjoys going to the library, trying new recipes, visiting wineries, and listening to live music—especially outdoors. She also has community employment and benefits from support that helps her maintain balance between work, home, and her social life.

She uses a THC vape as needed for anxiety, and asks that her provider be understanding and comfortable with that.

Support She’s Looking For:

HPC-Transportation for outings.

Gentle reminders for meals, medications, and small daily tasks.

Light cleaning and household upkeep to maintain her cozy home.

Meal prep and trying out new recipes together.

Encouragement and companionship to help her stay active and engaged in her community and work life.

Most importantly: companionship that feels authentic, fun, and supportive

Personal Preferences:

Must be comfortable with dogs—her pet is family and may join outings

Animal lovers are a huge plus!

She appreciates providers who are open to sharing about their own life and interests—it helps her feel like the relationship is mutual

She’d love a provider who treats her as a peer and friend, not just as someone they “work with”

If you’re open-minded, compassionate, and looking for a meaningful, peer-like connection, she would love to meet you!

If interested, please contact Courtney McConahay at cmcconahay@waynedd.org
