A kind person to sit with my husband on Wednesday and Friday afternoons in Johannesburg
Unpaid or low-cost help with Mandla for a few hours each week would keep our family afloat.

I'm Nokuthula, and I look after my husband at home in Johannesburg. Mandla has a weak heart and should not be alone for long stretches. I work long days at the clinic, 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.
Mandla loves football 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 Mandla 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.
Thank you for reading, and for even thinking about it.
