Just FYI

I would ask your landlord to please follow up with you.

I assume that you can turn her down for any reason, same with turning down a potential job applicant? I would maybe keep it vague and say you're looking for someone in your age range or something like that.
I do need to follow up with my landlord today about this. She has a Masters degree of some kind to work with kids with autism.

I don't have to get back to her until tomorrow, so I am still thinking about how I want to approach this. Wanting someone closer to my own age is a good reason.
