About the Employer

I am an active young person. I have an amazing sense of humour and can be chatty and fun to be with when I feel safe. I can be nervous in new situations. I am sensitive to noise and touch and smells. I really don’t like to be touched unless I am asked and give permission. I do not like crowds.
