Description
My name is Gladiz. I am a 81 years old educated, vital and independent woman. I used to be a literary professor. I enjoy reading the newspaper and keeping informed on both national and international politics issues. I am curious about modern life and I would like to keep updated about it.
I have a daughter who lives abroad and one year and a half ago, after sharing 40 years together, I lost my houseband. Even though I carry on with their absence quiet well, as any of my age, somedays I feel quiet lonely and others don´t feel with all the strength needed to go ahead with the essential dairy home tasks. Since I live in a large apartment and there´s lot of space me and my doughter think that having a flat mate willing to give me a hand if need it or just being around, will do me well.

Help
Helping me with my dairy home tasks mom means:
1. Go together to supermarket and carry back domestic shoppings
2. Preparing some meals, load/unload the dishwasher.
3. Solving technological problems/Reminding me how to do it (sometimes I have difficulties using for example the cellphone or Netflix).
4. Driving me to medical appointments or social events.
p.s1: Once a week a lady woman comes to do the housekeeping so you won´t be asked for this task.
p.s2: If it´s needed my daughter will be able to support us by videocall. In case a bigger help is needed or an emergency occur, we can count on with my niece who also lives in the neighborhood.
Although this workaway job is supposed to be easy, a real personal commitment is needed. I am looking for a spanish speaker, responsible, respectful, collaborative and patient person looking for the warmth of home abroad who can understand that is going to live together with someone that after 81 years won´t change her habits. Even though you will be my guest you should be capable of adapt to them.
