Respite care wanted: a few hours a week with Karanja in Kinondoni
Karanja needs company and a little help with meals; I need a few hours to work without worrying.

I'm Mussa, and I look after my brother at home in Kinondoni. Karanja has failing eyesight and should not be alone for long stretches. I work early shifts, 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.
Karanja loves his allotment 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 Karanja 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. A few hours from you would make a real difference to our week.

I have looked after my own mother and I know how tiring it is. I could do Friday afternoons if that suits. Flexible on timing.
