A good relationship with my clients is at the core of what I do, because being a household help is a lot more personal than one might think. To get feedback like this is incredibly valuable and reaffirms why I started this business.

Whatever the reason for more support, I am happy to help with what my clients need. I have to say, convincing my client's daughter to tidy her room with my help was quite a big achievement! 😆

If you need a hand, or your kids need someone (but please, not mum or dad 🤣) to tidy their room with them - send me a message! I'd love to have a chat 🩷

Did you know? If you receive Social Care Direct Payments, you don’t always have to spend them only on traditional care services.

If personal care (medication, washing, bathing, dressing) isn’t what you need, you can choose to use your Direct Payments for support like mine - which includes home help, companionship, or help with day-to-day tasks.

It’s about flexibility — finding the kind of support that truly fits your life.

Trading under the name Assistly Salford, I am a self employed household help with experience, insurance and references, so no need to become an employer & hire a PA. Send me a message if you want to find out more 🩷

Spot the difference 👀

Left: a mountain of laundry that felt like “I’ll never get through this.”
Right: a calm, sorted wardrobe ready for the week ahead.

Not everyone might be comfortable with showing what's going on in their home, so I'm very grateful that my client kindly agreed to let me capture my work 🩷

Sometimes all it takes is an extra pair of hands to turn chaos into calm. That’s what I do for families, people with disabilities, older people, and anyone who just needs a bit more support at home. 🩷

When people think of MS, they often picture mobility aids or visible physical challenges.
But for many people, the hardest part isn’t walking or speaking — it’s what’s going on underneath the surface.

MS can cause a wide range of lesser-known symptoms, like:
🧠 Trouble with focus and memory
🧩 Difficulty organising tasks
💬 Word-finding problems
💤 Fatigue that isn’t solved by sleep
🌫️ A sense of mental fog or overwhelm

These cognitive effects can make everyday things feel a lot harder — especially when energy levels and abilities change day to day.

Here’s how one of my clients described it:
“Most of the time, when I’m struggling at home, it’s not because of the physical stuff like walking, talking, eating, or sleeping — it’s more to do with the cognitive side of things. I have trouble with executive functions, like planning, getting started on tasks, remembering what to do next, prioritising, or staying focused.”

“That’s where my PAs (including freelancers like Laura) really make such a big difference — they help me stay on track, give me gentle reminders, and bring a sense of structure and calm to my day. Without that kind of support, I’d feel overwhelmed and really struggle to manage on my own.”

Support doesn’t have to look like traditional care.

Sometimes it’s showing up with kindness, helping someone get started on what matters to them, and making the day feel a little more doable.
