A friendly elderly lady is seeking a Sharer for her home to give her a mix of up to 10 hours of household help and company per week in exchange for low-cost accommodation within her detached house in Mayfield, Edinburgh.

The comfortably furnished single bedroom is on the first floor with views over the garden and benefits from a wash basin in the room. The shared areas include a traditional kitchen with a dining table, a spacious, bright lounge, 1st floor shower room and ground floor bathroom. Outdoors, there is an attractive garden and a small park opposite. Facilities include the use of broadband, television, a washing machine, a dishwasher, bicycle storage in a nearby garage, and permit car parking on the adjoining street.

The property is located within 10 minute walk from Cameron Toll shopping centre, a supermarket, public park, cafes, bars and restaurants. It is also on a main bus route accessing the city centre in under 15 minutes.

Seonaid (the householder) would particularly value the reassurance and company of having a friendly person at her home in the evenings and overnight. She would like someone who is happy to help with general house duties when needed, encouragement to do her seated exercises, enjoy some conversation over a cup of tea, feed the cat and also keep an eye out for any concerns and keep in touch with her daughter. As a Sharer, your company & support would be up to 10 hours per week, and you would not be expected to help with any sort of personal care.

Seonaid has mobility restrictions and has carers visit 4 times per day, and a cleaner visits 3 times per week. Her daughter also lives between this house and London, so she will be home some of the time.

The ideal Sharer will be female, friendly, kind and reliable and someone who would enjoy sharing time together over a cup of tea or an evening meal. Preferably 25+, non-smoker, no pets and has the intention of sharing this home for at least 9 months.
