I am a mum of two young children (2 week old and 2 year old). Being a mum is my absolute priority, but I need a little help with personal care (showering) and running my home.

I would love to be able to cook traditional meals for my children and partner so we can enjoy this together as a family, keep my home tidy and even get out and do some social activities (bingo/swimming/visiting a café). I have epilepsy which is currently managed fairly well with medication.

My personal assistant will need to feel happy and able to react to an emergency situation, call an ambulance and ensure the safety of my children if I have a seizure. I have good days and bad days, my support needs can vary day to day, as I have some mobility issues and PTSD.

I spend a lot of time in my home watching crime/investigation TV/films (which are my favourite) and I also speak Spanish and Portuguese. Please get in touch if you think you could help me. I am open to a job share, so even if you can only take on some of the hours, I would love to hear from you.

Duties include:

Personal grooming
Other relevant duties as required
Administration
Housekeeping
