Respite for a tired caregiver in Cork

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

I'm Maeve. For 2 years I've cared for my father, 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 Ronan to the toilet and get back to bed. Ronan 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. Thank you. A few hours from you would make a real difference to our week.

effort: one night a week
format: In person in Cork
skills: calm at night, experience with older people
schedule: One night a week, 9pm to 7am

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.

I live nearby and could sit with them on Thursday. No charge. Just let me know.

I do not have formal training but I am patient and I have lots of free time on Saturday. Happy to give references. Flexible on timing.
