Are you a compassionate, patient, and friendly individual looking to make a difference in a family's life? I am looking for a personal assistant to support me a mother of three children aged 7-14, each with their own unique needs when my husband is at work. Tasks will include helping with household tasks, providing support to me and my children in order to make life just a little easier for us all.

I experience both good and bad days, with some cold weather-related challenges. On good days, I enjoy crafts, on tougher days, support with daily tasks will be essential. We are friendly, but it may take some time for me to adjust to receiving help, I’ve always been the carer and have had volunteer roles in the community when I was more able.

I'm looking for someone who is kind, compassionate, and reliable, comfortable supporting a family with a range of needs, can handle some physical tasks (like meal prep and laundry) and has a flexible, understanding attitude. We have one cat so should be comfortable with this.

If you're ready to join us and make a real difference, I’d love to hear from you!
