Support Worker DP3105

I am an outgoing single mother, and I am registered blind.

I use a guide dog and have 4 children between the ages of 13 and 18.

I require help in the home with domestic duties.

I have a small garden that requires some attention so an enjoyment in gardening (though limited to summer months) would be a bonus!

I also require help out of the home - with the children as well as with me on my own.

I also need assistance with taking my guide dog, Prince, to the park for his 'free run' a few times a week.
