Hello
My mum suffered a stroke in July and is currently in Woy Woy rehab centre. They’re hoping she’ll be home in 5/6 weeks. My dad is looking for someone to come in the mornings and evenings to help with mum. We are looking at between 4-6 hours per day. We’ll know more in 5/6 weeks as to the role itself but it’s standby assistance.

I require a driver for my elderly mum at 11:00 daily to drive 1.5km in Scarborough to visit my Dad at Bally Cara. Are there any drivers who can assist?
