Respite for a tired caregiver in Birmingham
I'm asking for one night a week where someone I trust stays in the house so I can sleep.

I'm Melanie. For 1 years I've cared for my husband, who needs help at night several times. I haven't slept through in a long time and I'm starting to make mistakes.
I'm hoping for someone who could stay one night a week, from about 9pm to 7am, in our spare room. You would only need to help David to the toilet and get back to bed. David sleeps well once settled, and I'll leave clear notes.
I can't pay much, but I can give a small thank-you and good breakfast. If you've done night care before or work in health care, you'd be perfect.
I'll be so grateful for any help at all.

I live nearby and could sit with them on Saturday. No charge. Flexible on timing.

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