About the Employer

I am a very laid back and very good natured 45 year old lady living in my family home. I am a wheelchair user and need help with my personal care. Also if you can accompany me to my day centre on a Monday and Friday from 10.30am-4pm. I have my own transport and we will be driven there. I am non verbal but I know what's going on and I am responsive. I would really like a very calm and caring person who is reliable, punctual and who doesn't let me down. I really don't like loud noises but apart from that I am very chilled.
