Summary
I am a young lady living in Gorseinon. I have a learning disability and epilepsy. I get very anxious around crowds and noisy places it can cause me to have panic attacks. I do not like shopping as it causes me anxiety. I am looking for a PA to accompany me do new things, I am keen to try swimming, maybe Zumba or aqua Zumba. I enjoy coffee mornings and art classes. I would like to go to the library as they have a games day. I walk using my walker so my PA should have a big enough car for this to fit. I would also like to go to the cinema, Plantasia, the theatre, the nail salon to get my nails done, also the hairdressers and beautician. I would like to plan to do something daily with my PA to get me out of the house.
