Could you spend Tuesday and Thursday afternoons with Francisco? (Medellín)
Unpaid or low-cost help with Francisco for a few hours each week would keep our family afloat.

I'm Marta, and I look after my husband at home in Medellín. Francisco has failing eyesight and should not be alone for long stretches. I work until six, and the gap on Tuesday and Thursday 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.
Francisco 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 Francisco 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.
