I am looking for a reliable personal assistant to provide companionship and sit with my mother to enable me to have a break from my role as main carer. I like to go walking, so hours are flexible e.g. can be 6 hours per fortnight as opposed to 3 per week.
My mother likes a cup of tea and a sandwich during the day and enjoys talking about family. If you are a good listener and can be flexible with hours, I look forward to receiving your application.
