Job Description

Temporary Personal Assistant (PA)

 

A Little About Me

 

I am a 25-year-old living in the Barry area with my cat and dog. I have an eclectic range of hobbies, from crochet to gaming (mainly on my PC or Nintendo). I enjoy anime films, watching YouTube, and I love animals of all kinds.

I am easy-going, gentle, and enjoy chatting about my interests — especially Pokémon. I listen to music when I’m out and about and usually wear headphones. I use an electric wheelchair for daily mobility and experience chronic pain; on my worst days I may be bedbound. I have diagnoses of Fibromyalgia and Autism.

It can take me a little time to build trust with new people, but once I feel comfortable, I enjoy good conversation, shared interests, and having a laugh.
