I would love to find someone with housekeeping ability, and maybe I should look specifically for that. They're out there . . . somewhere.

These "home attendants" that the agencies send to old people, like my bf, aren't very good at anything. They aren't nurse's aids, so they can do much "hands on" care. They aren't much good at cooking or cleaning, or they'll have better paying jobs doing those things. They are basically "sitters." It's someone to be in the house for safety sake, so I can close the bedroom door and really sleep, or leave the house for a couple of hours.
