A little about myself:
I am a middle-aged lady living in Llansamlet. I am a permanent wheelchair-user. I love to have a laugh, and am very sociable.
I would like to get out and about more. I enjoy doing a variety of different things, such as going for a coffee, going shopping, going out for meals, going to the theatre, going to the hairdressers, cooking, and sorting out my things. I am looking for a PA to enable me to do this.
I would also like my PA to accompany me to appointments and help me do my online shopping. I may need my PA to empty my catheter, so will need a PA who is happy to do this.
I have my own automatic wheelchair-adapted van, which my PA can use. You would need to have a UK driving licence and be over 25.
Female preferred.
