About the Employer

Are you calm, intelligent, organised, and able to bring balance to a creative and energetic personality? I'm a funny, curious, imaginative woman looking for a Personal Assistant who can provide practical support while appreciating my unique interests. I love Pokémon, board games, Anime, gaming, art, walking, and good conversation. I'm lively, straight-talking, creative, and a little whimsical, so I'm looking for someone who enjoys working with people, has a good sense of humour, and isn't fazed by change. While not essential to enjoy everything I like, it would be great if you have knowledge of Pokemon, Anime and have an active mind I'm looking for someone who enjoys genuine conversation, and who appreciates creativity, humour, and individuality. The right person will be practical and organised while also understanding that life is more enjoyable when there's room for imagination, curiosity, and a little bit of whimsy. If this sounds like you, I'd love to hear from you.
