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

I'm Brooks, and I look after my father at home in Rochester. Elias has a weak heart and should not be alone for long stretches. I work part-time at the shop, 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 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.
Elias loves football 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 Elias 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 for reading, and for even thinking about it.

I do not have formal training but I am patient and I have lots of free time on Wednesday. Happy to give references. Flexible on timing.
