I’m an artistic 41-year-old woman living with FND (Functional Neurological Disorder) and can experience a lot of pain. I have good days and bad days, so I’m looking for someone understanding, patient, and able to adapt when needed.
I’d describe myself as a bit quirky, with a good sense of humour, and I’d love someone like-minded who can bring positive energy into our home. On my better days, I am able to do more and enjoy popping out for a coffee and getting some fresh air.

• Supporting with school drop-offs and pick-ups for my 6-year-old son
• Helping with meal preparation and some domestic tasks
• Working alongside me at home to keep things organised
• Using your initiative to provide support on more difficult days

What I am Looking For

• A good sense of humour and a positive outlook
