Female Sharer for older person in Mapledurham

Would you like to share the spacious home and garden of an elderly lady in the beautiful, secluded South Oxfordshire village of Mapledurham? Just 4 miles from Reading, 7 miles from Goring-on-Thames and 10 miles from Henley.

The Householder is an independently-minded, sociable person who has been active in her community and has loved cooking and gardening, but owing to increasingly frailty and some health limitations, she is now looking for a like-minded person to help with small household tasks, shared evening meals together and some company. The Householder already has some ongoing, regular support in place too.

The reassurance of having someone in the house at night is important and a car driver would be essential. Someone who had some flexibility in their schedule to go out for a short very local walk on some days would be ideal, but not essential.

This would suit a considerate, flexible, confident female, who values their own independence whilst also being sensitive to the needs of the Householder. Someone who enjoys food and cooking and who would be generally around in the evenings to help with this would be ideal, as would someone who appreciated the countryside and rural living.
