Hello, I am Chloe. You can contact me if you need an 'emergency' or 'one-off cover' assistant (as a temp carer/PA/minder), for yourself (or your partner, adult/underage children, siblings or parents), or if you/your loved ones need a part-time cover on an 'ongoing, occasional, ad hoc' basis, either short/medium/long-term (from a few days to 1 year +), within ca. 130-mile radius from my location.
Anywhere in the UK and abroad can be OK, as I am a mobile, temp carer/minder/travel-luggage PA.

Also, a 'longer temporary' cover (some weeks to 2, 3 or 4 months +), full or part-time, could be arranged. I can consider long-term placements (6 months, a year + etc.).
For your care needs or for trips abroad, any UK location is OK, since I am a mobile, temp PA carer/assistant. (Accommodation/travel/meal costs apply if far from me.)

8) EXAMPLES OF YOU NEEDING ME AS YOUR TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY/AD HOC COVER CARER/PA ASSISTANT
Here are instances of what my clients hire me for my services:
A) You already have a carer/PA or your partner/family help you, but they are ill so you need a last-minute, temp carer for a few nights (with staying overnight/24-hour care) to assist you at your home.
B) You booked a holiday abroad for you and your carer, but they suddenly became unavailable due to a grave situation, or your usual PA is on a 2-week annual leave and you now suddenly have to travel abroad for something urgent at a short notice, either for a few nights/weeks or for a month or more, leaving you in need of an emergency carer/assistant to travel with you abroad.
C) You usually stay home without a carer, but just tomorrow night, or for a few days this/next week, you have to be out for a few hours or the whole day or night (for job interviews, dates, concerts/events, important meetings, family/friends do etc.), so you need someone to help you while out and about.
D) You suddenly have to travel one-off to Scotland for a weekend, or you have to fly out of the UK on business unexpectedly for a week, so you need a carer to come with you to help you on urgent/unexpected trips away from home somewhere in the UK or abroad. Or you feel you could just about manage travelling alone, but you would like a minder/bodyguard to accompany you for protection as you are a vulnerable individual due to health conditions/disability or due to 'higher risk' destinations.
E) You usually always work from home and manage your independent living yourself, but there are changes occurring in that soon you could have to be out for events/meetings for the whole afternoon once or twice a week, or you could need to travel abroad for a couple of nights a few times a month, so you now need to find a carer/PA on an on-going yet occasional, ad-hoc basis.
F) Something else. You can contact me and tell me about your (or your loved ones') situation needing an emergency or temp carer, PA or mobile assistant.
