We seek a friendly and caring Personal Assistant for our father, who has short-term memory difficulties, often forgetting daily tasks. We hope you can help him to live an enriched life, enthusing him to continue his passions, while ensuring his basic needs are in place. A well-educated, cultured man who has dedicated his life to helping others and still tries, he loves word games, music, church, photography, telling stories and walking in nature.
