Companion for Ethan while I'm at work, Austin

Ethan needs company and a little help with meals; I need a few hours to work without worrying.

I'm Landon, and I look after my father at home in Austin. Ethan has Parkinson's and should not be alone for long stretches. I work nights, 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 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. Ethan 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 Ethan present, and I'm happy to give a reference from our doctor's office. 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.
