A kind person to sit with my mother on Monday and Wednesday afternoons in Swansea

Michelle needs company and a little help with meals; I need a few hours to work without worrying.

I'm Santiago, and I look after my mother at home in Swansea. Michelle has a weak heart and should not be alone for long stretches. I work nights, and the gap on Monday and Wednesday afternoons is the hardest part of my week. What I need is someone calm and reliable to be in the house from about 1pm 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. Michelle 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 Michelle present, and I'm happy to give a reference from our neighbor. 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.
