Are you somebody who is reliable, hard working, honest, respectful, kind natured with a great sense of humour. I am looking for somebody with shared interests. I have a passion for films, TV, music of all genres, gardening, baking, cooking, animals and especially dogs. Your role would be to help me around my home and to assist me in taking care of my husband, son and fur babies (chihuahua/Yorkshire Terrier X and /Shih-Tzu Cross).
I love nothing more than sticking on some music, taking care of my home, cooking/baking and trying new recipes, however due to my chronic health conditions this means that sometimes these pleasures become a chore, making it difficult to complete these tasks. Your role would be to support me in maintaining my mum and housewife role within the home environment. Your role will include mostly cooking and cleaning. This support would make a huge difference to me and my family’s life.
I am a bubbly and chatty lady in my 40s. Since having Long covid I suffer with a host of symptoms that can be hard to manage and predict. I become fatigued very quickly which makes completing or starting tasks very challenging. Long covid has had an impact not only to my energy levels but also my cognitive processing disorders which makes me very forgetful, Other medical conditions also mean that I must manage chronic pain on a daily basis. Every day is different, and I never know what I am going to get, it can change very quickly, so finding a PA who has an understanding of chronic illness is vital.
The role will also involve taking me to hospital/doctors appointments, so being able to drive and having access to your own vehicle would be really important. It also means that we can occasionally escape the house and maybe go for a short dog walk or visit a café.
