Respite care wanted: a few hours a week with Dayo in Lagos

I look after my father and work nights. I'm looking for someone patient to sit with Dayo on Wednesday and Friday afternoons.

I'm Oluwaseun, and I look after my father at home in Lagos. Dayo has Parkinson's and should not be alone for long stretches. I work nights, 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 1pm until 6pm. Mostly that means company, a cup of tea, lunch and a short walk if the weather is kind. No lifting and no medical care. Dayo loves his allotment 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 Dayo 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. I'll be so grateful for any help at all.
