sit with (one)
1. To provide company for one who is in or confined to bed. Tommy asked me to sit with him after waking up from an awful nightmare.We want to make sure there is always someone sitting with Paul while he is in the hospital.
2. To provide care to one who is unable to care for oneself, especially in for short periods of time. Thanks to the grant we received, we were able to hire someone to sit with Aunt Josephine for a few hours a day and give my poor mother a well deserved break.Will you come and sit with the kids while I go get the car serviced?
