**[HIRING] Mandarin Chinese Translator – Weekly visits to long-term care facility in Berkeley, CA | $20/hr**
Hey everyone! I'm looking for a Mandarin-speaking translator to help me stay connected with my grandmother, who lives in a long-term care facility in Berkeley.
The idea is simple: you visit her once a week, help facilitate a FaceTime call between the two of us, and translate in real time. The sessions are about an hour long and will be recorded for family purposes. I'll be on the call the whole time, so you won't be on your own.
**The details:**
- 📍 Berkeley, CA (exact location shared after hiring)
- 🗓️ Once a week, flexible scheduling
- ⏱️ ~1 hour per visit
- 💵 $20/hour, ongoing role
**What I'm looking for:**
- Fluent in Mandarin and English (spoken)
- Patient and comfortable around elderly people
- Reliable and able to commit to a weekly schedule
- Comfortable being on a video call that is being recorded
This is a pretty low-key gig but a genuinely meaningful one. Ideally I'd love to find someone who will get to know my grandma over time and become a familiar, friendly face for her. Please tell me a bit about yourself, why you're interested in the role, any experience with elderly people, experience with translating, and your availability. Thanks!
