A caregiver usually performs the following duties:
Light housekeeping
Laundry
Meal preparation
Bathing help
Ambulation assistance (help walking)
Errands
Mail sorting
Companionship- socializing and keeping person as active as possible within their abilities.
Personal care caregivers may be trained to help with certain illnesses (They may be termed CNA's or Home Health Aides).
And there are laws that decide what types of companies can care for children and who can care for adults over 18.
Your local hospital's social service department should be able to provide you with a list of companies that provide the service you are looking for. Or you can google home care and pick some to call.
Best of luck.

Care giver is a generic term for a responsible person caring for someone that cannot care for themselves. A caregiver can be for a child, adult, disabled, or even a pet.

I think it could also include doing shopping, laundry, cooking or making the bed for such a person. That would depend on what you agree to.
