Grand Aunt

I had coffee with a friend who has offered her home to an elderly aunt. It is a win win situation as the aunt has family to care for her and my friend has a new stream of income. Of course there are challenges on both sides. The aunt isn't quite at home yet and my friend feels less free to do things spontaneously but the trade off is really offset by a nice source of income. I have said I will work for my friend by providing meals and companionship for her aunt when she needs some time off. Meals and companionship are easy to provide and pay pretty well. I would be happy with $20 for making dinner ( they provide the groceries ) and spending a few hours with the aunt so my friend and her husband could catch a movie or go out for a leisurely dinner. I find $20 here and there adds up and if I don't do it too often it says fun and interesting.
