Care & respiteElderly care
A kind person to sit with my father on Wednesday and Friday afternoons in Thika
James needs company and a little help with meals; I need a few hours to work without worrying.

I'm Kioko, and I look after my father at home in Thika. James has failing eyesight and should not be alone for long stretches. I work nights, and the gap on Wednesday and Friday 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 6pm. Mostly that means company, a cup of tea, lunch and a short walk if the weather is kind. No lifting and no medical care.
James loves crosswords 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 James present, and I'm happy to give a reference from the parish. If you have done care work before, wonderful, but kindness matters more.
I'll be so grateful for any help at all.
