Details
I am a happy 26 year old wheelchair user who would like to employ a PA/Carer to give my mother some respite from her caring role. I have complex needs, including mobile peg feeding, so a PA with experience would be an advantage. While administering my peg feeding I do enjoy art and crafts and gardening so someone who shares these interests would be great. I will need personal care, transfers from wheelchair to toilet etc. and my PA needs to be able to push a manual wheelchair and support me when using stairs (at least until I move into more suitable accommodation). Because I can have some communication issues it is important that my PA speaks clearly. I can be sensitive to sudden loud noise as I have acute hearing. I enjoy getting out in the fresh air when I can, and love animals and classic cars. We have a small dog at home so a pet friendly person is required. Ideally my PA will be a driver with own car and appropriate class of insurance.
