She requires light support for personal care such as daily bed bath, light transfers, and assisted medication administration.

Night duties are on‑call and vary: some nights you may sleep through, others may involve extended seizure management lasting several hours. Oxygen may be required from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM; Irene typically sleeps until about 2:30 PM, allowing you to rest if possible. Light household duties such as washing and ironing are also part of the role.
