It could range from supporting them to do their shopping [providing transport]to doing housework,personal care depending what the individual is capable of doing for themselves.
it should be tailored to the person receiving the care

Your asking two questions that require two different answers. Someone who can walk "slightly" with the aid of crutches is not immobile. So I'll give you an answer that covers the immobile, those with partial mobility and the ambulatory. Caregivers provide assistance with or perform entirely the ADLs - activities of daily living. These are hygiene, feeding, dressing, grooming, toileting, oral care. For the immobile, a caregvier may perform transfers. This is moving the immobile person from bed to chair, wheelchair to toilet, chair to bed. A caregiver's duties may include light housework, meal preparation, shopping, transporting the disabled person to outside activities, reading to the disabled person, providing companionship and whatever else is deemed necessary and whatever the caregiver is qualified to do.

It depends on what sort of care is required. Generally it is help with washing/dressing/preparing cold meals. Private carers will provide more services than ones via social services eg shopping, cleaning etc

It all depends on the disability of the person. They might need help getting in and out of bed, getting dressed, having a shower or cooking. There's no one answer but they provide an invaluable service.

you mean someone who has trouble walking wants a career? there are lots of jobs using a computer that don't require walking around. just sit at the computer. working for a tax help center (H&R Block, Jackson-Hewlitt) would be good. receptionist or telemarketer or telephone work would be good, too. go to an employment counselling center for job options.
