Will Hangout with Old Black Grandma
25
I will hangout with your old black grandma and support with small household chores and be available for conversations. I will do this in blocks of at least 2 hours, and offer time to elders, to be present, at a designated nursing home, or at their home, or will go to events with them.
Ideally, I will be accompanied by my 5-year-old daughter also.
I would like to put intentional time to support the care of elders and in particular the offering of good company, a listening ear and support with small chores.
I will need your support in transportation if your location is far from my home, but this can be discussed as necessary. (lyft/uber reimbursements or offering towards gas)
