Respite care wanted: a few hours a week with Florence in Thika

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

Thika
I'm Njoroge, and I look after my mother at home in Thika. Florence 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 12.30 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. Florence 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 Florence 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. If this is something you could do, please write to me through the offer button.

    I am retired and have plenty of time. I could come for a few hours a week. Flexible on timing.
