Care & respiteElderly care
Could you spend Wednesday and Friday afternoons with Theodore? (Salem)
Theodore needs company and a little help with meals; I need a few hours to work without worrying.

I'm Sarah, and I look after my father at home in Salem. Theodore has a weak heart and should not be alone for long stretches. I work until six, 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 2pm until 5pm. Mostly that means company, a cup of tea, lunch and a short walk if the weather is kind. No lifting and no medical care.
Theodore loves her grandchildren 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 Theodore 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.

I live nearby and could sit with them on Saturday. No charge. Happy to chat first.

I have looked after my own mother and I know how tiring it is. I could do Monday afternoons if that suits. Just let me know.
