I am a lady in my 50's looking for a supportive Personal assistant to help me with light household tasks and occasional personal care on days when my health makes things more challenging. I live with chronic back pain and fibromyalgia, which can affect my mobility and energy levels—but I am a positive person who values independence, a tidy home, and good company.
Playing monopoly and chess online is an activity that I enjoy within my home environment. I also love sci fi fantasy, in particular Game of Thrones. Once a week I do access physio in the local swimming pool and enjoy getting out of the house with the support of a close friend.
