Carer / Personal Assistant

years ago. I require help around my home as well as my personal care needs as a
purely professional engagement.
You must be at least trained in using a hoist but experience isn't necessarily an
issue as I am happy to show you what is required. Training in health and safety
and first aid would also be advantageous.
I would work well with someone that can follow instruction and communicate
things to me before they happen. Also, someone that likes a clean environment as
much as I do. Keeping a clean and orderly home is important to me so having a
PA that feels the same way is a must.
