I am a chatty, bubbly and laid-back gentleman in my 60s looking for a kind, reliable Personal Assistant to support me in maintaining my independence at home.
I live with my wife and our German Shepherd dog, who is an important member of our family. As she can be protective of the home and unfamiliar people, I am looking for someone who is confident and comfortable around large dogs and is willing to be patient and give her time to get to know them.
I have some health conditions, including breathlessness, oedema in my legs and hearing loss, for which I wear hearing aids. Due to these conditions, I require support with some daily living tasks to help me remain safe and independent.
The support I require includes assistance with personal care. I am able to wash myself independently but need someone nearby while I shower to ensure my safety and reduce the risk of falls. Following this, I would appreciate support with drying myself and getting dressed.
There will also be occasions when my wife is away visiting relatives, during which I may require additional support with preparing meals, light household tasks and general supervision to ensure I remain safe and comfortable at home.
I would like to employ someone who is friendly, patient, reliable and enjoys a good chat. A caring nature, a good sense of humour and a willingness to support me in a respectful and dignified manner are important qualities for this role.
