Respite care wanted: a few hours a week with Grace in Mombasa
I look after my mother and work until six. I'm looking for someone patient to sit with Grace on weekday afternoons.

I'm Samuel, and I look after my mother at home in Mombasa. Grace has early memory loss and should not be alone for long stretches. I work until six, and the gap on weekday 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 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.
Grace loves old films 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 Grace 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.
