I’m a music lover who enjoys watching a good film, exploring meditation and crystals, and expressing myself through fashion (even if that’s a bit trickier these days!). I take pride in keeping my home calm, cosy, and comfortable – which I share with my lovely cat.

I use an electric wheelchair and can be sensitive to light and noise, so I’m hoping to find someone who is gentle, patient, and understanding. A calm presence really helps me feel at ease. I have fluctuating health and energy so no two days are the same.

Your role will involve supporting me with personal care and daily living tasks such as admin, organisation, cleaning, laundry, changing bedding, and preparing food, including batch cooking (extra credit if you enjoy cooking!). You will also provide support on longer days when I have medical appointments.

I’m looking for someone who is kind, practical, and down to earth happy to work independently and respectfully in my home, comfortable around cats and flexible and understanding – some days are easier than others
