A kind person to sit with my mother on Wednesday and Friday afternoons in San Jose

I'm Alexa, and I look after my mother at home in San Jose. Sadie 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 12.30 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. Sadie 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 Sadie present, and I'm happy to give a reference from our neighbor. If you have done care work before, wonderful, but kindness matters more. Thank you for reading, and for even thinking about it.
