A kind person to sit with my father on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons in Bakersfield

I look after my father and work long days at the clinic. I'm looking for someone patient to sit with Ryan on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.

I'm Ellie, and I look after my father at home in Bakersfield. Ryan has early memory loss 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 2pm 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. Ryan loves cricket 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 Ryan present, and I'm happy to give a reference from our neighbor. If you have done care work before, wonderful, but kindness matters more. Thank you. A few hours from you would make a real difference to our week.

    I have looked after my own mother and I know how tiring it is. I could do Friday afternoons if that suits. Flexible on timing.
