I am looking for a team of PAs to help with general housekeeping, shopping and to run errands. Support with some personal care tasks such as hair washing and applying creams.

I have severe multiple chemical and fragrance sensitivities/intolerances, meaning I cannot tolerate many perfumes and the majority of laundry detergents leave me dangerously ill over time.

Please be willing to have a set/s of clothes you would use for the days you work for me that only get washed in the laundry detergent I am able to tolerate, (I am willing to provide the laundry detergent for this if it is only for the clothes used here on the days you work for me), and to not wear perfume, hairspray or any perfumed things on the days you work for me too.
