Elderly companion in John o' Groats, Highland, Scotland.
The experience
I am a working young at heart 76 year old pensioner who has worked in hospitality all my life. I have two daughters living nearby who would like me to have someone staying in the house for companionship and safety reasons.
I am looking for assistance in my home, helping with things I'm finding harder to do due to limited mobility (e.g., bed making, cleaning, hoovering, tech support, etc.)
