I am a positive, funny, kind and caring lady in my early forties. I am looking for a team of personal assistants to support me to live independently in my own home and get out and about. I enjoy being taken to the theatre, (musicals or pantomimes), the cinema, bingo, meals out, parties, walks along the seafront (weather permitting) and spending time with family and friends. In 2015 I was diagnosed with cancer and unfortunately through having treatment I acquired some brain damage which has caused multiple physical disabilities. However, I have a positive outlook on life and enjoy it to the best of my ability despite this. This will be a rewarding, long-term role for the right person.
