A kind person to sit with my father on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons in San Diego
I look after my father and work nights. I'm looking for someone patient to sit with Lawrence on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.

I'm Mateo, and I look after my father at home in San Diego. Lawrence has poor mobility after a hip operation and should not be alone for long stretches. I work nights, 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 12.30 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.
Lawrence loves his allotment 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 Lawrence present, and I'm happy to give a reference from my employer. If you have done care work before, wonderful, but kindness matters more.
Thank you for reading, and for even thinking about it.

I am retired and have plenty of time. I could come for a few hours a week. Happy to chat first.

I have looked after my own mother and I know how tiring it is. I could do Saturday afternoons if that suits. Happy to chat first.
