Respite care wanted: a few hours a week with Melanie in Surrey

Melanie needs company and a little help with meals; I need a few hours to work without worrying.

I'm Waylon, and I look after my mother at home in Surrey. Melanie has poor mobility after a hip operation 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. Melanie 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 Melanie present, and I'm happy to give a reference from our neighbor. If you have done care work before, wonderful, but kindness matters more. I'll be so grateful for any help at all.

    I have looked after my own mother and I know how tiring it is. I could do Friday afternoons if that suits. Just let me know.

  • Arthit Narong Rattanakorn 🇹🇭

    I am retired and have plenty of time. I could come for a few hours a week.

  • Leonardo T. Delgado 🇺🇸 Photo verified

    I live nearby and could sit with them on Monday. No charge.

  • Lalita Fon Bunnag 🇹🇭 Accepted

    I used to work as a care assistant and I am between jobs. Happy to meet you both first.
