Details:
I am very capable lady with learning disabilities, who needs support and someone who will ensure my safety when I am completing my day-to-day tasks. I have lived in my flat for over ten years and can do and complete some small tasks on my own (like making a sandwich for example.) However, I need help with keeping my home tidy and clean. I am therefore looking for someone who could help me for 5 hours per week, an hour per day with cleaning. Further I am looking for a Personal Assistant to support me with activities such as going to the shops and the gym once a week, going for walks along the beach or the pier as well as help with preparing my lunch. I like to cook my own food but need someone who will supervise that I am doing it safely and encourage me when I need it. I have a strong Christian faith and would really like to find someone who can relate to me in this aspect of life.
