Summary

Very friendly, chatty and outgoing lady in her mid-50’s looking for a female support worker with a similar personality who can support a visually impaired lady in her own home. I also have spinal and nerve damage which can affect my mobility, but I do have a mobility scooter for when I am out in the community. I try to live as independently as I can but require assistance with some day-to-day tasks. I am a big advocate in animal welfare and run cat shows so you need to be an animal lover or not afraid to be around animals especially because I am awaiting an assessment for a new guide dog. Non-smoker is important due to health issues. Days are flexible but they will always start at 9am.
