Respite care wanted: a few hours a week with Sibusiso in Soweto

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

Soweto
I'm Unathi, and I look after my father at home in Soweto. Sibusiso has failing eyesight and should not be alone for long stretches. I work until six, 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 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. Sibusiso loves his allotment 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 Sibusiso present, and I'm happy to give a reference from the parish. If you have done care work before, wonderful, but kindness matters more. Thank you. A few hours from you would make a real difference to our week.

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