Meet with a Jewish woman in her 60s from the Former Soviet Union who is new to San Francisco, having previously lived in the FSU, New York, and Israel. The client is dealing with auto-immune illness and would appreciate a weekly visit for conversation and short walks near her home. Also has a lovely, friendly, well-behaved little long-haired Chihuahua. Visits need to be between 11 and 2 when the client has the most energy. Knowledge of Russian is not required.
