Description
I'm looking for a kind, calm, and reliable Personal Assistant to support me as I live with severe ME/CFS and other complex health conditions. My needs vary from day to day, with some days leaving me bed bound; so I'm looking for someone who is patient, flexible, and understanding. Support may include personal care, preparing simple meals, light household tasks, shopping, driving me to appointments, organising my diary and medication, and helping me manage my symptoms. I appreciate a quiet, gentle approach, as I'm very sensitive to noise, light, and strong scents. Although my health limits what I can do, I'm friendly, optimistic, and would love someone who will support me with compassion while helping me maintain the best quality of life possible.
