About me (the Employer) :

I am a fiercely independent young lady of 87 years. I’m looking for someone to help me maintain independence in my home liaising with my two daughters to determine ongoing enabling. As I’m getting older, everyday tasks are becoming slower and more challenging. Practical assistance is needed for some tasks that require heavy lifting, help me tackle dexterity obstacles, potential meal preparation, prompting of medication, and where needed, getting out and about.

I am looking for someone who has experience of supporting older but ‘young at heart’ individuals. I am looking for someone that I can chat with on topics in common such as cooking, baking, dressmaking, knitting, television soaps and dramas.

This assistance is about helping me and my choices, independent living, dignity and privacy

Your role will be essential to independence in my own home and where needed, getting out and about by car
