Geaton777 has a good point here regarding companionship. When my Dad was hiring caregivers from an Agency, they had sent numerous caregivers, and at the end of the week Dad asked for certain ones to be his caregivers.
Dad was in his 90's and wanted a caregiver with a similar background and a good sense of humor. Two of his favorites (Dad had 3-shifts per day) were women in their 50's and 60's who had grown children. Dad and the caregivers (sounds like a musical group) were familiar with actors/music of each others era. One caregiver's hubby would come over to do handyman repairs, Dad would pay for the products but the fellow wouldn't take pay for labor :)
Dad found the caregivers who were in their 20's and 30's had nothing in common and were more interested in seeing what was on their cellphones. He couldn't talk about old movies or music as they were not familiar. I couldn't relate to them, either, if I happened to drop by to visit Dad.
As for a food allowance, that would mean your caregiver would be cooking 6 meals a day. One for you, and one for herself. Hope she loves to cook.
If she is getting paid then I'm not sure why she'd also need a food allowance. She buys her own groceries and cooks her own meals. Or are you looking for her to also cook for you?
Loneliness is a problem for the elderly. Do you live in a city, suburb or rural area? If you are healthy and active are you still driving? If so, are you not involved in activities like sports, clubs, church, volunteering, etc? A young, 30-ish woman will probably be interested in dating, marrying, having a family at some point which may mean she won't be working as a live in for long. Maybe consider a male companion aid instead of a female, and maybe someone older so that you have somethings more in common with them.
