Summary
Lady in her early 40's who is neuro-divergent, has Myalgic encephalomyelitis, fibromyalgia, and an acquired brain injury where I have a love for cooking, arts and crafts, going to the theatre, and seeing the birds of prey at Warwick castle. looking for a female who is patient, and has the ability to engage with me with a willingness to get to know me and my whys. I would like someone to support with a variety of needs and activities but you need to be flexible as the days and hours may vary. I also enjoy going dog training and agility with my dogs so i need a person that is comfortable and confident around dogs who would be happy to attend this with me. It is very important that you are willing to build a good relationship with my dogs as they are my emotional support mechanisms too. I do have a quirky and bubbly personality where i enjoy having a laugh but it can take me a little time to get comfortable with a person to show my true personality.
