About the Employer

Hi there, We recently moved back from Australia and are looking for a PA to support my 20-year-old daughter. She needs a companion who will encourage her in day-to-day activities, which may include, but are not limited to, going shopping, cooking, attending D & D sessions, visiting McDonalds and interacting with her cat! She enjoys computer gaming, art - especially on the computer, Dungeons and Dragons, Anime and anything cat related! She has a good sense of humour and will open up more, once she gets to know that she can trust and rely on you.
