[quote=Anonymous]Another vote for the neighborhood listserv. We had a nanny, for instance, who also did geriatric care, and companionship care for people w/ Alzheimers. Someone like that, with a family that maybe has kids in school during the day, might be a great solution all around and could offer you the chance to build up hours as needed. Or a retired person who would enjoy the company. Or a stay at home parent who would love to visit with an adult for a few hours a week. Etc... I bet that if you put a message out on the listserv you'll find people who are happy to be social and don't even want to be paid. So you could line up many more care/support/visits than you need (which would be so smart and good for you!) and also really build your community. People really do love to help their neighbors. I hope folks turn up for you. And if it turns out that you're in my neighborhood we'll absolutely help!![/quote]
