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

I'm Samuel. For 4 years I've cared for my wife, 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 Autumn to the toilet and get back to bed. Autumn 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.

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

I do not have formal training but I am patient and I have lots of free time on Monday. Happy to give references. Just let me know.
