Do you love arts and crafts? If so, this might be the perfect job for you! I am a cheerful woman, in her late 30's who enjoys arts and crafts living with ME and I am looking for a personal assistant to help, with various domestic tasks around the home. I have multiple chronic conditions that mean I have a dynamic disability.
I have a compromised immune system so I often pick up infections or bugs. I prefer not to have personal care from carers but I do need someone to be around in case I fall etc. Motivation isn't an issue for me, rather I am existing in a body that has motivation but not the ability to do what I want from it and that can be frustrating. It's an important distinction to avoid misunderstanding my core needs. It helps to have someone to help me by taking care of my tools and supplies to allow me to be able to make best use of my abilities. The role will not involve any personal care
