Seeking Driver for Hire for Mom

Seeking a trustworthy, reliable, responsible and excellent, safe driver for about 5-7 hours/week (specifics TBD) to help my lovely 82 year old Mom who will need to give up driving in the near future. Ideal person will be patient, experienced, have lots of common sense, know the area (North Berkeley primarily) and have a pristine driving record and insurance. French speaking would be a big plus. Use of her late model car may be an option.  Our initial thinking is that someone would be able to meet her 2-3 times a week to help her run errands and have occasional outings, etc.-- some flexibility as we perfect this would be appreciated.

RE:

I started out looking for part-time help for my folks and found my wonderful caregivers on Care.com. You set the parameters for what you need and look for someone who fits your needs.  There are lots of people out there, so be sure you interview them, run the background & DMV checks (provided through the site), get references and find the right fit (can you tell I work in HR?).  Good luck!
