Personal Assistant 5072

To support me with daily tasks, a little bit of housework, personal care and to engage in social activities.

My name is Lucy, and I live in Leiston with my husband Andy and our 9 cats, (soon to be) 3 dogs and a tank full of fish! As you can see, I'm an animal lover so the ideal applicant would need to be comfortable working around my pets. I also like to go out and about, enjoy arts and crafts, making my own things (like jams and chutneys), going shopping, going on holiday, trying new activities, listening to music and watching films. I'm very outgoing, love to have a laugh and I'm willing to try anything. I'm looking for someone outgoing and with a good sense of humour to support me with daily tasks, personal care and to engage in social activities. A good personality is more important than previous experience or qualifications. We're a non-smoking household, so you will be asked to smoke outside., Must be comfortable around animals
