HOUSEHOLDER
A lovely lady in her 80’s lives in a 3-bedroom house in Harrow, Northwest London.
This lady is has grown up children who visit as much as they possibly can. Her daughter lives nearby and as part of their routine she pops in to see her mum at least once a day every day. The lady is widowed and feels lonely. Her family feel she would benefit from having a homesharer to provide companionship, and an overnight presence along with some support with daily activities to make things a little easier for their mum.
The lady’s routing consists of waking up around 9am. She is clean and very houseproud she keeps her home looking smart and spotless. She enjoys keeping abreast of the cleaning. Enjoys cooking and gardening.
She and her family are attracted to Homesharing as they like the idea of having an extra presence in the house who is able to offer some support to their mother with the added reassurance of having overnight presence and some companionship.
The ideal homesharer would be a female in the 30’s with a mature outlook on life and has experienced living independently, preferably Greek speaking but will consider other female applicants.
Ideally someone who will be able to sometimes cook or prepare an evening meal and sometimes share an evening meal together.
Someone who is clean, caring, understanding, kind and compassionate, clean and tidy. Can offer companionship and overnight presence.
Would prefer the homesharer to be non-smokers but will consider an outdoor smoker. The householder likes to feed a stray visiting cat and will happily consider someone with a pet.
Would suit an individual interested in offering some light support to an elderly woman.
