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 lead an independent life. I will need help with personal care and help around the family home, and running errands/attending appointments/socialising etc in my WAV, that you would drive.
I am a power 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 if you could do something. I'm happy to have a job share in place with a few people. I currently have another PA.
