Andy Hall (Moderator) said… Hi Kathryn,
thanks. I had thought of just 4-8 hours per week on a trial basis see monitor effectiveness for both parties.
Then increasing the hours and tasks if it succesful.
I must be prudent with my time and money at this stage.
May be best we speak about this.
regards,
Andy
