About the Employer

I am a lady who lives in the outskirts of Warwick who requires assistance with my day to day living. I need support to get up in the morning and to get washed and dressed. I require help with meal preparation as it is important that I get suitable nutrition so that I can perform the day to day activities that I like. I need assistance to manage my home including de-cluttering, cleaning, support with laundry and running errands or supporting me on trips out for shopping, going to the gym etc. You must therefore be a car driver with a car available for work. Your assistance will make a significant difference to my quality of life. It is therefore important that you are reliable and trustworthy. I have cats and you should feel comfortable having cats within your work place as I have 2 cats.
