Mom Looking for a Job

TL;DR at the bottom My mom brought me and three of my siblings to the US about 9 years ago. Being an immigrant, she wasn't legally allowed to work. However, through various house cleaning jobs and selling for an MLM she somehow raised all four of us by herself and paid for our citizenship processes. Now she started the process herself and has just received her work permit, meaning that she is now legally allowed to work. However at 55 with no experience in the US, I know it's not gonna be easy. The last thing I want is to see my mom being exploited for minimum wage after everything she's done for us, so I'm turning to this community since you are the most critical of shitty workplaces. Does anyone have any ideas for a job that will take her, pay her a decent wage, and not exploit her?…

Does anyone have any ideas for a job that will take her, pay her a decent wage, and not exploit her? She has experience and is skilled in the following: sales, coaching (not sports), teaching, cleaning, public speaking, cleaning, taking care of children, and is trilingual (English, Spanish, and Portuguese). It would also be preferable if the work wasn't physically demanding as she has back issues.

TL;DR: Mom just got work permit, but no experience in the US. Please throw any ideas for a decent job for her.
