Personal Assistant for Mum

We are looking for assistance for our dear Mum who lives at home in Ryde and is seeking to maintain her independence while managing dementia and Alzheimer’s.

The assistance we are seeking is for between 30 minutes and one hour in the morning and in the afternoon, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday each week. More hours may be available.

The assistance would be to provide the following types of support:
- give tablets and eye drops
- some housework and laundry
- cook a basic dinner (food will be provided)
- have a cuppa and chat for the remaining time every day.

There may be a requirement for some limited personal care, such as applying skin cream. Combined with Mum‘s dementia and Alzheimer’s, which can make her anxious with strangers, this position is only open to female personal assistants.

If you are interested, please can you provide details of self-employed status, liability insurance, car insurance and any recent testimonials from other clients.

We look forward to hearing from you.
