Respite care wanted: a few hours a week with Everett in Newport

Unpaid or low-cost help with Everett for a few hours each week would keep our family afloat.

Newport
I'm Emma, and I look after my father at home in Newport. Everett has failing eyesight and should not be alone for long stretches. I work part-time at the shop, 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 12.30 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. Everett loves cooking 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 Everett 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.
