A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I am a wonderful 8 year old little girl living in the Cyncoed area of Cardiff. I am a very content and happy little girl. I enjoy the park, softplay, swimming and dressing up. My family is looking for someone to take me to activities that I enjoy. I have a visual impairment and profoundly deaf. I’m non-verbal, but I use a pecs board to communicate my basic needs. I can walk independently in doors but I need guidance when out and about due to my vision impairment and I use a wheelchair for medium to long distances.

PURPOSE OF JOB
