Could you spend Monday and Wednesday afternoons with Odette? (London)
Odette needs company and a little help with meals; I need a few hours to work without worrying.

I'm Raphaël, and I look after my wife at home in London. Odette has Parkinson's and should not be alone for long stretches. I work nights, 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 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.
Odette 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 Odette 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. A few hours from you would make a real difference to our week.
