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

I'm Hannah, and I look after my husband at home in Surrey. James has a weak heart and should not be alone for long stretches. I work early shifts, 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.
James loves the radio 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 James 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.
