Respite care wanted: a few hours a week with Bongani in Durban
Bongani needs company and a little help with meals; I need a few hours to work without worrying.

I'm Sibusiso, and I look after my father at home in Durban. Bongani has Parkinson's 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.
Bongani 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 Bongani present, and I'm happy to give a reference from our neighbor. If you have done care work before, wonderful, but kindness matters more.
I'll be so grateful for any help at all.
