I am a woman in my 40s with MS. I live with my son and husband, and our pet cat.
I am a friendly person, with a good sense of humour. I like to see the brighter side of life and laugh at things when they invariably go wrong. I am a glass half full kind of person. Where there's a will there is a way!
I am looking for a female PA with a similar outlook on life, to help me get dressed and get up on Saturday and Sunday, prepare lunch and to help prepare for a roast dinner on Sundays. I would also like support with some domestic duties around my home.
I am a wheelchair user and use a hoist to transfer, so knowledge and experience would be desirable. I am very independent and like to do as much as I can, and be involved.
Please apply and ask questions around hours if you are interested.

Medication prompting/administering

Moving and handling
