Summary
I am looking for a caring and patient person to help me with shopping, appointments, everyday tasks, and occasionally walking my dog. As I live with anxiety, I need someone who is happy to take things at a slower pace when I am having a difficult day. It's important to me that you enjoy a good chat and can provide friendly companionship as well as practical support. Some flexibility would be helpful, as there may be times when I need you to cover shifts for my other PA due to sickness or holidays. If you're kind, understanding, and reliable, I'd love to hear from you.
