Summary
Middle aged lady who is a wheelchair user with cerebral palsy and I am blind but it does not hold me back from having a very bubbly and lively personality so I am looking for someone with similar personality who I can build up a relationship with me by coming to do my personal care and using a ceiling hoist at the desired times stated. If you are able to only do a few of the shifts then please still apply and we can discuss this. However, there is a possibility of more hours being available once i have built a trusting relationship with someone. Due to my blindness, I have a very high sense of smell and hearing. One of the biggest challenges I face is being able to use a public toilet because I must be hoisted so my times going out may vary depending on the times you are due to work. I would also like someone that will do baking, arts and crafts with me and it is important to build a very good trusting and reliable relationship.
