A kind person to sit with my brother on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons in Cartagena

Emiliano needs company and a little help with meals; I need a few hours to work without worrying.

I'm Marta, and I look after my brother at home in Cartagena. Emiliano has a weak heart and should not be alone for long stretches. I work long days at the clinic, and the gap on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons is the hardest part of my week. What I need is someone calm and reliable to be in the house from about 1pm until 5pm. Mostly that means company, a cup of tea, lunch and a short walk if the weather is kind. No lifting and no medical care. Emiliano loves cooking and will talk your ear off about it. I'm home before dark and will always leave the phone numbers of the doctor and a neighbor. I'd like to meet you first with Emiliano present, and I'm happy to give a reference from our doctor's office. If you have done care work before, wonderful, but kindness matters more. I'll be so grateful for any help at all.
