I am a single mother living in Stanton with my 13-year-old son and my 3 cats. I am mentally and physically disabled and am unable to perform the tasks that need to be done around the house. I also have anxiety, so I would like someone to accompany me to appointments. I am a chatty person as I don't have any adults at home to talk to, so once I get to know you, it would be nice to chat. I don't really like leaving the house, I keep myself to myself, so I put a lot of trust in an employee to come into my home, and it takes a lot for me to build a relationship with them. I also use crutches and I do not smoke.
