Homeshare - Brent Cross, London NW11

Large and bright double bedroom in a well maintained house, with good wardrobe space and chest of drawers, room for a desk, and shared use of a modern bathroom, big kitchen, living areas and garden. There is good wifi available.

Literally only a moment’s walk to Brent Cross underground station (Northern Line) and to many regular bus routes across north and central London.

What this Homeshare opportunity involves:

A gentle, kind and chatty lady in her mid-80’s is looking to share her warm and lovely family home with a mature female Sharer, in return for some friendly companionship, and the reassurance and peace of mind that someone else is in the home overnight.

From having had an active life, and a very busy household, caring for her large family over many years, our homeowner now spends a lot of time at home alone, and she misses having some company particularly in the evenings. Her family, who live close by, stay in regular touch and she has support during the day midweek.

This opportunity would suit a mature lady who has a flexible schedule and enjoys being home most evenings and is happy to spend some time chatting with our homeowner, sharing a few meals together, or watching television. Approximately 10 hours or so each week. No personal care is required or permitted.

A friendly person who enjoys listening to stories and has stories to share would be ideal, and if you speak Spanish, that’s a bonus, but it is not essential as our homeowner has lived in London most of her life and speaks excellent English.

Our homeowner is partially sighted and is also a little hard of hearing but wears a hearing aid. She enjoys eating healthy simple Mediterranean food and watching a good crime drama on television, and going out for meals with her family.

Cost: £199 per month
