Homeshare female w/older person - Kennington OX1

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS HOMESHARE PLEASE CONTACT US VIA THE FORM ON OUR WEBPAGE - AS OUTLINED AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS AD.

We are looking for a kind, friendly, independent female, who mainly likes to spend time at home in the evenings, to share the peaceful Kennington home of a gentle and friendly Householder in her early eighties.

The Householder has a background in the caring profession and used to work as a psychiatric nurse and counsellor. She has many interests including theatre, cinema, cooking and recipes, gardening and walking and choir singing.

Having been recently bereaved, the Householder would now like to have someone sharing the house with her and would greatly appreciate the companionship that this would bring. Supportive and caring family also live close by and visit regularly and often.

A little help with light housework would be appreciated and someone who would like to share an early evening meal a few times a week would work well. Local strolls together, the odd shopping trip and visit to the cinema or theatre are also things that the Householder would like to do together from time to time. A car driver would be a bonus for the odd lift.

This Homeshare would suit someone who is gentle, sensitive and considerate, has their own independent life and shares some of the Householder’s interests. It may suit someone who also has a caring profession background. Whilst we are looking for someone who would also enjoy interesting conversation and spending some time with the Householder, equally it is important that they also value their own independence and, as would the Householder, be considerate and respectful of each other’s space and privacy.

The house is set back from the main road, with parking, and has a natural garden and is a short walk from the river Thames. Someone who appreciates nature and a peaceful environment would be well suited. If they would like to help with any gardening they would be welcome to do so.

There is a bus stop to Oxford and to Abingdon within seconds of the house.

The Householder is fully vaccinated for Covid-19. The Sharer should also be fully vaccinated.
