Could you spend Monday and Wednesday afternoons with Zola? (Soweto)
I look after my father and work nights. I'm looking for someone patient to sit with Zola on Monday and Wednesday afternoons.

I'm Andile, and I look after my father at home in Soweto. Zola has a weak heart 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 2pm 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.
Zola loves the radio 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 Zola 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 for reading, and for even thinking about it.
