Companion for Everett while I'm at work, Scranton

Unpaid or low-cost help with Everett for a few hours each week would keep our family afloat.

I'm Doris, and I look after my brother at home in Scranton. Everett has poor mobility after a hip operation and should not be alone for long stretches. I work long days at the clinic, 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. Everett loves crosswords 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 Everett present, and I'm happy to give a reference from my employer. If you have done care work before, wonderful, but kindness matters more. I'll be so grateful for any help at all.
