CAREGIVER POSITION FOR RETIRED NURSE, STUDENT NURSE
Hi Neighbours. We need a special someone to help us with some Caregiving for my 88yo mother. We are based on the Shore. Ideally a retired nurse, or a student nurse looking for a part time job as my mother had a stroke & needs assistance. I have been looking after her FT, just need a helping hand. We have a carer who showers her each day so no need to do that. The role would be 1-2 days a week initially helping her get ready in the morning, making her breakfast, lunch & possibly dinner. Keeping her company 😃 while she is watching her Chinese TV or just walking out on the deck. Light cleaning duties also, making her bed, cleaning her bathroom, keeping her bedroom tidy. Mum is a lovely lady, a soft spoken person, good SOH, has limited English but she is suited with somebody with a quiet, caring nature would be ideal. If interested😃 please call/text me 027 3862680 & we can have a chat. Cheers Helen

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
