Odd Jobs in San Diego, CA

About who needs care: My dad needs someone to come in approximately 3 hours a day, 5 days a week; or 2 hours a day, 6 days a week (which days they are doesn't matter). He is living independently but recently stopped driving and started using a walker, and it's getting hard for him to take care of himself and his household needs like cleaning, laundry, etc. He does have some chronic illness but currently has a separate for medication management, etc. And he is chatty so he would like someone friendly who laughs at his jokes. About the care needs: It's hard to win my dad over, so ideally this person would be friendly and laugh at my Dad's jokes. He also likes to chat so it would help if they don't mind a little conversation while they work. He prefers a female caregiver (though I don't know if that's an appropriate or allowed thing to request). It would be great if this person had a car to take my dad grocery shopping. The grocery store is really close -- literally visible from my dad's building -- but it's become too far for him to walk. Someone familiar with or at least comfortable with chronic pain would be helpful. He gives himself several injections throughout the day and so the caregiver would certainly see him do this from time to time.
