Respite care wanted: a few hours a week with Roman in Pittsburgh

I look after my father and work nights. I'm looking for someone patient to sit with Roman on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.

I'm Victoria, and I look after my father at home in Pittsburgh. Roman has failing eyesight and should not be alone for long stretches. I work nights, 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 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. Roman loves the radio 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 Roman 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.
