Respite care wanted: a few hours a week with Chhaya in Chennai

Chhaya needs company and a little help with meals; I need a few hours to work without worrying.

I'm Naveen, and I look after my mother at home in Chennai. Chhaya has poor mobility after a hip operation and should not be alone for long stretches. I work long days at the clinic, and the gap on weekday 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. Chhaya loves old films 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 Chhaya present, and I'm happy to give a reference from my employer. If you have done care work before, wonderful, but kindness matters more. If this is something you could do, please write to me through the offer button.

    I have looked after my own mother and I know how tiring it is. I could do Wednesday afternoons if that suits. Happy to chat first.
