Our client loves animals and enjoys spending time with her dogs, fish pond and horses. You'll support her to enjoy the things that matter to her, including visiting her horses, while also helping with meals and everyday routines. If you're caring, patient and a great listener who takes pride in helping someone live life their way, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
