A bit about me:
I am a single mum living with my two daughters aged 18 and 20 years and our two friendly cats. I have an interest in alternative therapies, in particular healing crystals and reiki, I enjoy being able to spend time in the countryside walking. Due to my autism I am initially quite a quiet person and can find some social situations challenging. However, once I feel more familiar and relaxed in company then I am able to communicate in a more confident manner.
About the role:
I am looking for someone who could help me in a variety of ways. General household tasks can often overwhelm me so support with some of these would be appreciated. Ideally someone who can guide and motivate me to establish a good routine in a firm but friendly manner. Helping with the weekly food shop and offering me some budgeting advice would also be a great help as I often seem to run out of things! General household admin is also another area that I can find overwhelming so again, help with this task would be appreciated.
The kind of person I am looking for:
Friendly and approachable, responsible, reliable and trustworthy. Someone with a positive nature, good communication and social skills. Able to respect confidentiality, privacy and be sensitive to my needs. To understand that dignity and independence are important. Be willing to learn and have the ability to work on your own initiative.
