I am a tetraplegic lady looking for a kind, reliable and confident female Personal Assistant to support me with my morning routine. The role is from 7:00 am to 9:30 am, providing essential assistance to help me start my day comfortably and independently.

Your morning with me will begin by helping me get out of bed using a stand aid hoist to transfer to my wheelchair and shower. Afterward, I return to bed so you can assist with drying and applying creams, followed by some gentle exercises before transferring back to my wheelchair. You'll also prepare my breakfast and make drinks for the day.

All training will be provided, so while previous care experience is helpful, it's not essential — a positive attitude, patience, and a willingness to learn are what matter most.

I'm young and active in mind and enjoy spending time with my family, including my grand and great-grandchildren. I'm looking for someone friendly, dependable, and respectful who can help me maintain my independence and start each day feeling comfortable and cared for.

If this sounds like a role you'd enjoy, I'd love to hear from you.
