Companion for Elijah while I'm at work, Red Deer

I'm Mateo, and I look after my father at home in Red Deer. Elijah has failing eyesight and should not be alone for long stretches. I work early shifts, 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 1pm 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. Elijah loves his allotment 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 Elijah present, and I'm happy to give a reference from the parish. If you have done care work before, wonderful, but kindness matters more. If this is something you could do, please write to me through the offer button.
