Ensuring the individual is comfortable and their immediate needs are met.
Companionship
Engaging in conversation and providing emotional support.
Participating in activities or hobbies the individual enjoys.
Offering company to reduce feelings of loneliness.
Supervision and Safety
Ensuring the individual remains safe while the primary caregiver is away.
Monitoring mobility to prevent falls or injuries.
Assisting with basic mobility around the home.
Light Household Support
Preparing light snacks or drinks.
Tidying up immediate areas, if required.
Medication Support
Assisting with medication reminders or administration, if appropriate.
Reporting
Informing the primary caregiver of any significant events, changes, or concerns that occurred during the sitting period.
Sit-in carers primarily provide short-term care, focusing on the well-being and safety of the individual while offering peace of mind to the primary caregiver.
