Summary
About me
I am a 49-year-old lady living in Balby. I have multiple sclerosis and scoliosis and use
an electric wheelchair to help me remain independent and get out and about. I am
usually able to drive and enjoy maintaining as much independence as possible.
Although I am a wheelchair user, on good days I like to walk around my home using
a rollator. Due to my conditions, I have both good days and bad days, which means
the amount of support I need can vary from day to day.
I share custody of my dog, Luna, with my ex-partner. Luna is 5 years old and can be
quite shy when she first meets people, but once she gets to know you, she will
happily ask for lots of belly rubs and snacks.
I am looking for a caring and reliable Personal Assistant to support me with daily
living tasks and help me continue living as independently as possible.

Approximately 30 hours per month, with additional hours available if desired.
