*** COVID-19 UPDATE***
I am immune-compromised due to my chronic health conditions / asthma / medications. Only fully vaccinated people please.
If I or you become sick with COVID we will all need to isolate in the house until everyone is recovered. Obviously we would care for each other during this time.

Our quiet home in Heidelberg Heights, Melbourne, is needing immediate help with multiple tasks around the house.

- Maggie, an 8 year old cuddly smaller sized greyhound, my Assistance Dog, is all about the butt scratches and stealing pastries from the kitchen bench.

MAY 2022 UPDATE
= WRIST RECONSTRUCTION SURGERY =
End of April / start of May, after surgery I will be immobilised in plaster casts / hard plastic casts for 12 weeks. Then will need to learn how to use my dominant hand again.
I will need help with:
- cooking (meal prep, cooking, freezing, cleaning up, include raw dog food).
- cleaning (dishes daily, kitchen after meal prep, weekly bathroom clean, vacuum, bins, linen change, outside).
- driving my automatic Subaru (must have Australian Drivers License / International DL and excellent driving record).
- shopping (big weekly shops at Northlands SC, Warring, SC or Westfield SC - you can also browse shops and buy yourself all the things).
- getting to appointments (osteopath / doctor / hand rehab / tests).
- laundry (washing, hanging up to dry, sorting, folding, putting away).
- taking care of my dogs (feeding / meal prep / cuddling / walking).
- cleaning up after the dogs (toileting / brushing / bathing / laundry).
- * personal care (help dressing if needed, ie putting on on a bra, placing arm cover over plaster arm cast so I can shower, and help removing cover, help putting hair up on occasion, putting on sunscreen (I burn all year round). First aid if required.
* I am only wanting female workers, who will be available for each day to help me during my recovery, due to the personal nature of care. [I do not require help toileting / showering].
I also have chronic medical conditions, including: Asthma, Crohn’s Disease (IBD), Rheumatoid Arthritis, ADHD, Chronic pain, fatigue, all the fun stuff. So I am limited in my energy and spend lots of time in bed.
*️️️️️️*️️️️️️*️️️️️️*️️️️️️*️️️️️️*️️️️️️*️️️️️️
Outside of my wrist surgery recovery, these are my usual tasks I am trying to tackle:
MOST TASKS CAN BE DONE IN THE AFTERNOONS / EVENINGS.
Household jobs may include:
Inside =
- thorough cleaning of the home.
- organising the spare room to create office / art / sewing space.
- de-cluttering / organising belongings in bedrooms / kitchen / lounge.
- sorting, photographing & listing clothes & household items for sale online.
- laundering & general daily house chores (dishes / tidying up after the dogs / vacuuming).
- Computer - editing photos and selecting for printing
Outside =
- weeding / watering / help with reporting plants in the small courtyard garden.
- cleaning up after the dogs.
- Organising the outdoor tool shed.
- Dog walking / training / cuddles.
Max 5 hours per day, 5 days per week,
*️️️️️️️️️️️️️️ I (Felicity) have multiple chronic medical conditions, and need lots of rest, so I will help out when I can, but will require workers to be independent, and help without supervision the majority of times.
*️️️️️️️️️️️️️️*️️️️️️️️️️️️️️ As I am relatively new to Workaway, i would prefer experienced helpers / travellers with a good work ethic, good - excellent English, a mature relaxed nature and, I can't say this enough = YOU MUST LOVE DOGS! :)
