Care & respiteElderly care
Companion for Carol while I'm at work, San Jose
Unpaid or low-cost help with Carol for a few hours each week would keep our family afloat.

I'm Rowan, and I look after my wife at home in San Jose. Carol has Parkinson's and should not be alone for long stretches. I work part-time at the shop, 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 2pm 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.
Carol loves cooking 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 Carol 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. A few hours from you would make a real difference to our week.
