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

I'm Bhavna, and I look after my mother at home in Brooklyn. Deepa has Parkinson's and should not be alone for long stretches. I work early shifts, 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 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.
Deepa loves old films 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 Deepa 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 have looked after my own mother and I know how tiring it is. I could do Saturday afternoons if that suits. Just let me know.
