About the Employer

I am a happy young lady who needs help with personal care, to shower and dress and any related tasks to maximise my independence. I require support after school in the evenings and eventually this will involve social support. I live with my family who provide most of my care currently but I would like to have a PA and become less reliant on their support. Family smoke but only outside.
