Companion for Lawrence while I'm at work, Leicester

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

I'm Ian, and I look after my father at home in Leicester. Lawrence 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 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 1pm until 6pm. Mostly that means company, a cup of tea, lunch and a short walk if the weather is kind. No lifting and no medical care. Lawrence loves cricket 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 Lawrence present, and I'm happy to give a reference from our neighbor. 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.
