Respite care wanted: a few hours a week with Miles in Birmingham

Unpaid or low-cost help with Miles for a few hours each week would keep our family afloat.

I'm Pamela, and I look after my husband at home in Birmingham. Miles has a weak heart and should not be alone for long stretches. I work part-time at the shop, and the gap on Tuesday and Thursday 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 5.30. Mostly that means company, a cup of tea, lunch and a short walk if the weather is kind. No lifting and no medical care. Miles 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 Miles present, and I'm happy to give a reference from my employer. 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 Saturday afternoons if that suits. Just let me know.
