Care & respiteElderly care
Companion for Pratik while I'm at work, Kochi
Unpaid or low-cost help with Pratik for a few hours each week would keep our family afloat.

I'm Omkar, and I look after my father at home in Kochi. Pratik has early memory loss and should not be alone for long stretches. I work long days at the clinic, 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 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.
Pratik loves old photographs 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 Pratik 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.
Thank you for reading, and for even thinking about it.
