A kind person to sit with my wife on weekday afternoons in Istanbul

I look after my wife and work part-time at the shop. I am looking for someone patient to sit with Leyla on weekday afternoons.

I'm Burak, and I look after my wife at home in Istanbul. Leyla has Parkinson's and should not be alone for long stretches. I work part-time at the shop, and the gap on weekday 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 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. Leyla 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 Leyla present, and I'm happy to give a reference from the parish. If you have done care work before, wonderful, but kindness matters more. Thank you for reading, and for even thinking about it.
