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

I'm Douglas, and I look after my mother at home in Dallas. Mackenzie has a weak heart 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 1pm 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.
Mackenzie loves gardening 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 Mackenzie 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.

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