I am looking for a paying job as a typist for a writer. I can "live-in" to make it easier and to be on-call at any time. Will relocate, if living situation is adequate, and will assist with household duties, if necessary. Working with a writer, will help me to learn to write, as well.

Actually, I would say that virtually ALL writers do their own typing. I've never heard of writers hiring out to others to type their stuff. I don't know if this would be done in the form of dictation, typing from handwritten notes, etc. I've been writing professionally for 18 years and I've never heard of such a thing.
Perhaps you should re-vamp your plan for learning how to be a good writer.

I very highly doubt you could make money as a typist for writers - most do their own typing, even if they do the actual writing by hand. However, you could try to look for work doing dictation (if you know how - there's lots of work for medical dictation), or for data entry that would involve lots of typing.

Many writers do their own typing.

I am a writer. I do my own typing by myself. But i am looking for a translator who can translate my poems in English. (He or she supposed to know my language.) He or she should be good in English.
