Anita’s Home Help

Availability information last updated: 13th January, 2026

Anita’s Home Help is all about helping you and your loved ones, living happily and safely in your home. I am a registered sole trader and work by myself.

Having choices about what we do in our lives, whether that is enjoying a hobby, interest, meeting with friends, going shopping, cooking, time with pets, having a tidy and clean home can affect how we feel in our daily lives. This is why I have set up and I wish to make a difference to other peoples lives in my local community.

Together we will talk through what is important to you and agree how to do this

We can do an activity together if you wish, in part or full. You may simply want me to do practical tasks and that is great too.

Some of these could be:

  • Household chores – cleaning, laundry, hoovering, bins
  • Gardening – basic maintenance and making the outdoor space safe and welcoming (I am not a landscaper)
  • Pet care – including dog walking
  • Meeting up with friends
  • Going to places of interest – museums, garden centres, auto jumbles
  • Cooking
  • Shopping – online or in person
  • Decluttering and getting organised
  • Time out – do you care for a loved one (18+) and wish to have some time out for yourself?

I am trained and experienced in many different approaches such as Motivational Interviewing / Solution Focused / Confidence Building.

I have worked with lots of different people over the years and some have had a diagnosis of autism / ADHD / dementia / anxiety / PTSD.

My real focus is that every single person is a unique and valuable individual. We can find out what works for you…

Those essential bits:

I have an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Certificate

Public Liability Insurance up to the amount of £5 Million

Relevant procedures, paperwork, registration and training – all is available to view when we meet.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my information

If you have any questions please do get in touch.

Reviews of Anita’s Home Help

This is a very long overdue review for Anita, who has been supporting my elderly mum since December 2024.
Anita mainly assists mum with cleaning, but is happy to undertake other tasks throughout the year at mum’s request. Anita is super friendly, and she and mum always have good chats and laughs. Mum so looks forward to Anita’s weekly visit.
Anita normally visits on a Monday, but is as flexible as she can be when needed. Anita readily agreed to be part of a home support WhatsApp group that facilitates quick and easy communication.
Anita has provided much needed additional support to enable mum to maintain her independent living, and mum has been so pleased with the service that she has provided. We would not hesitate to recommend her.

It is a pleasure visiting your mum and I look forward to our chats whilst helping her do those chores that she likes to keep on top of.

Anita's a good home help but she forgets what time period I'm living in

Anita is so much more than a carer for me, she is an important person to me and my family. Her presence has brought an incredible positive impact into our lives, and her can‑do attitude shines through in everything she does. We look forward to every visit, knowing that she brings warmth, reliability, and encouragement and laughter into our home.

Anita is honest, kind, trustworthy, and respectful. She treats everyone with dignity and compassion, and her support goes far beyond the practical, it’s emotional, uplifting, and empowering. We feel incredibly fortunate to have her in our lives, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.

Thank you Emma it is always great having our 'sort out' sessions whether it is the usual housework or clearing out those cupboards and the shed, alongside some interesting and fun conversations

Anita came to help my elderly parents at our son's wedding day. Both are very frail. She helped at the ceremony to get them seated( so I could concentrate on the guests) and then took them from the ceremony to the church hall by car. She was warm and helpful and put them at ease. She stayed at the reception to help them get their food and checked in on them at regular intervals in just the right way. When they got tired she took them home and checked they were ok before she left.
All this allowed me to enjoy the wedding as I didn't need to worry about my parents as they were well cared for, my father said" Anita was so good with us, it took all the stress out of the day and allowed us to enjoy it all"

Thanks Anita!

Anita helped my sister and I care for our Mum who has dementia. With Anita's help we knew mum was in safe hands. Anita assisted with meals and prompted medication but most of all provided mum with company. Anita is a very caring capable kind person who just "got on" with the job in a highly professional way whilst still being very warm and friendly. My sister and I are more than happy to recommend Anita's services

Anita is so friendly and willing to help in whatever way she can. Whether you need some help cleaning, or getting out and about, or a companion to ‘listen’ to you. She will always check with you that she is meeting your needs (without encroaching your personal space) and is willing to discuss any issues you may have - which I have found very useful! She will even research things on your behalf in her own time.
Anita is also very professional, showing evidence of her own journey/training courses, and is very clear that confidentiality is part and parcel of how she works.
