About the Employer

Lady in her late 30's with meniere's disease and fibromyalgia, is looking for a very flexible and empathetic female with a caring and patient personality who can support me within my home and to help me to access the community which may even be just going to the local town and doing some browsing in the shops.

I require a person that will give me time to get to know them and build a good working relationship so I can feel safe in your care and this will allow me to be more comfortable with leaving my home and giving my husband who is my main carer some respite.

I would like someone who has a interest in arts and crafts as this is one of my hobbies and i would like someone who would be happy to take me to any local craft fairs and can teach me new crafts such as crotcheting, knitting, card making etc

Looking for somenone with a good sense of humour and enjoys chatting.

Most of my personal care is done by my husband but there may be times where I would need your support.

Ideally would like someone who likes to cook but is willing to listen to my food allergies so that we would be able to possibly do some cooking together.

There will be at times some household chores that may need help with.

You will need to have business insurance and a car big enough to fit a wheel chair in because on my bads days I may need to be in the wheelchair so i would require your help with this because i am unable to do the wheelchair on my own so will need to be pushed in it.
