Low cost accommodation in Roehampton Sw15

An older lady with reduced mobility is seeking a Sharer for her home to offer a little practical help and company each week in exchange for the low-cost accommodation.

She would value the friendly reassurance and company of having someone around his/her home in the evenings and overnight. She would also like some general practical help around the home such as ad hoc shopping, cooking a few meals, light cleaning and tidying, laundry, carrying heavier items, help with IT/tech, and other ad hoc practical help and errands as may be helpful. She has a weekly cleaner.

The accommodation on offer is a large bedroom, furnished with a small double bed and en-suite shower room. There is a bright shared kitchen, sitting room and garden. The property is lovely and well-maintained.

The property is located in Roehampton, 10 mins bus ride or 20 mins walk from Barnes Station (trains into Waterloo) and close to many bus routes. There is a parking space. Richmond Park is just 15 minutes’ walk away.

The lady is very interesting and still does sculpting, plays bridge, reads and looks after her garden.

As a Sharer you are free to work or study as long as you have enough spare time (up to 15 hours per week in a mix of practical help plus a little company) to give the agreed level of company and support. The ideal Sharer will be a positive, friendly, kind, helpful and reliable non-smoker who ideally shares some of the lady’s interests.

If you are interested, please tell us a little information about yourself, your hours of availability, why you are interested in, and think you may be suitable for, this share. We can then give you more details about this specific situation.

£165 per month plus contribution to household bills (£65 per month).
