Respite care wanted: a few hours a week with Gerald in Charlotte
Unpaid or low-cost help with Gerald for a few hours each week would keep our family afloat.

I'm Brooklyn, and I look after my father at home in Charlotte. Gerald has early memory loss 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 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.
Gerald 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 Gerald present, and I'm happy to give a reference from our neighbor. 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 Sunday afternoons if that suits. Flexible on timing.
