Overview continued

I am a lady in my 50's looking for a supportive Personal assistant to help me with light household tasks and occasional personal care on days when my health makes things more challenging. I live with chronic back pain and fibromyalgia, which can affect my mobility and energy levels—but I am a positive person who values independence, a tidy home, and good company.

Playing monopoly and chess online is an activity that I enjoy within my home environment. I also love sci fi fantasy, in particular Game of Thrones. Once a week I do access physio in the local swimming pool and enjoy getting out of the house with the support of a close friend.

This role would suit someone empathetic, patient, and upbeat. If you’re looking for a rewarding part-time role where you can genuinely make a difference, I’d love to hear from you.
