Summary
JOB DESCRIPTION
Personal Assistant
A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
I am 60-year-old woman living in the Pontyclun area with my dog called Jeni. I have a degree in Human Biology and masters in Communicating Science. I enjoy watching crime thrillers or any documentary including murder mysteries, science, wildlife programs. I do also like discussing politics and current affairs. Normal tasks outside of the home can be very difficult for me as I have some health problems and I have difficulty managing the pain this causes me. I have difficulty with my mobility and I need someone who is flexible and reliable to assist me with socialising and helping me to get out of the house.
Recently I found out that I have had series of historical strokes. One recently where I have lost my vision on the right side. It’s important that things are not moved especially in the kitchen as my memory isn’t as great as it used to be. I was very compos mentis before and I can feel frustrated when there are things I cannot do. I am unable to drive as a result of this. I do still enjoy to work my cognitive function like playing a game of chess.
