I am currently engaged for 30 or so hours a week, and I do senior care for Mom (87), so my availability is limited. I can help if you have something short term like a fix. I don't mind continuing to help out occasionally after that as needed. I prefer to work on weekends when my primary contract is slower. I hope this helps.
