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

I'm Alexander, and I look after my mother at home in Buffalo. Donna has a weak heart and should not be alone for long stretches. I work long days at the clinic, and the gap on Monday and Wednesday 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.
Donna loves crosswords 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 Donna 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 for reading, and for even thinking about it.

I have looked after my own mother and I know how tiring it is. I could do Thursday afternoons if that suits. Flexible on timing.

I do not have formal training but I am patient and I have lots of free time on Tuesday. Happy to give references. Just let me know.
