Companion for our spritely, sparkling and fun mother in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia

  Description

  We are looking for a caring, warm-natured, tidy person to live with our spritely, sparkling and fun elderly mother. She lives independently and capably, but we would love someone to live with her to provide help with some light duties around the home. This could suit either a single person or a couple.
  
  We are after someone who is highly conscious of COVID safe practices, and whose lifestyle places them at minimal risk of coming into contact with COVID.
