I'm Zola, and I look after my mother at home in Soweto. Naledi 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 2pm 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. Naledi 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 Naledi present, and I'm happy to give a reference from my employer. 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 have looked after my own mother and I know how tiring it is. I could do Sunday afternoons if that suits. Just let me know.

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