A kind person to sit with my father on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons in Colombo
Unpaid or low-cost help with Srinivas for a few hours each week would keep our family afloat.

I'm Lakshmi, and I look after my father at home in Colombo. Srinivas has a weak heart 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 5.30. Mostly that means company, a cup of tea, lunch and a short walk if the weather is kind. No lifting and no medical care.
Srinivas loves gardening 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 Srinivas 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.
If this is something you could do, please write to me through the offer button.
