Ayuda
I am a blind lady in my 60's living in the west of Ireland. I require somebody to provide a little company and security as well as some help around the house (cooking, shopping, light housework).
Ideally (but not essentially) I would prefer somebody with a driver's licence so that you can take me to the shops, appointments, visit friends etc., I have my own car. However, it is not essential.

It was a real pleasure to host Hanna. I normally like people to come for at least 1 month but Hanna could only offer me 2 weeks. I wondered whether or not to take her but I can now say that I am so happy to have met her and host her even if her stay was short. It would have been a missed opportunity otherwise. Nothing was too much for Hanna - she… read more

Pina spent the month of December with me. She is a lovely girl and we had lots of nice times together. Although she was vegetarian, she succeeded in providing me with non-vegetarian meals. She was kind, good company and ran lots of errands for me. I would like to thank her for her time and wish her lots of success for the future.
