My Dentist of over 30 years has called me and asked me to go to his parents home 3 times a week. He says light housework, grocery shopping, maybe some ironing and cook them a meal. Only 3 days a week. He says he will feel better cause he knows me. But I've never done this before, I hope I don't let anyone down. I hope I'm not sorry I accepted, but it's nice to be needed. What do you think, what can I cook for them? But in a nice kitchen, hmmm. who knows?? 8-)

you will do just fine :D
find out what their dietary needs/can't haves are and have fun picking out menus with them :D:D:D |
You will probably do great! Best to ask them what kind of stuff they like to eat, & what they definitely don't like, then you can vary it from there... Also, if they are on any kind of special diet. I bet they will be glad to have you & look forward to your visits. Good luck & let us know how it goes!...

He knows he can trust you....they will soon be just like family

Thanks! That is exactly why I posted, because I needed support. I'm used to visiting at someones home, not up doing things for them...I just need a list. I will be meeting them tomorrow at 10am with the Dentist

He must think alot of you to ask you to do this.......
Best of luck........ Just remember, extra money,extra material!!!! |
You will do fine.

Might want some clarification of what is expected of you -
What is their definition of "light housework"? Hours? Grocery shopping - pick them up and take them? or go to the store by yourself? And what you expect from them - Compensation? Will you be treated as an employee and the money earned as taxable income? Mileage? I'm sure that this will evolve as you get to know their needs better. |
You will do Great! It's nice the he thought of you and i am sure he has every confidence that they will love having you! Just ask questions and it will be a nice relationship for you and them.

And if you suspect they might have a dog or cat, pick up a treat for each one.
That little thing might be the very one that will make them feel at ease, knowing that you like animals. |
