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

I'm Anna, and I look after my mother at home in Birmingham. Gabriella has poor mobility after a hip operation and should not be alone for long stretches. I work early shifts, 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.
Gabriella 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 Gabriella present, and I'm happy to give a reference from the parish. 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.
