Companion for Eli while I'm at work, Chicago
Eli needs company and a little help with meals; I need a few hours to work without worrying.

I'm Amber, and I look after my husband at home in Chicago. Eli has early memory loss and should not be alone for long stretches. I work part-time at the shop, and the gap on Tuesday and Thursday 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.
Eli loves football 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 Eli present, and I'm happy to give a reference from the parish. If you have done care work before, wonderful, but kindness matters more.
I'll be so grateful for any help at all.
