I am a 57-year-old Turkish lady with MS looking for support to continue living an independent life.
I live independently in my own flat with my cat Simba.
I am bilingual. My condition means I sometimes forget the right words but I am fiercely intelligent and understand everything.
I enjoy going out most days as it helps my mental health and MS. I particularly enjoy swimming, seeing my daughters, and going to the shops.
I require support with accessing social and leisure activities and going to the shops as my condition affects my balance and mobility.
I manage most of my personal care needs myself but need support with showering.
I manage most of my domestic needs myself but need support with cleaning.
I require support and accompaniment to medical or other appointments.
I require a driver with their own car who is proactive and flexible to my changing needs.
This is a rewarding role for the right individual.
I enjoy social contact and having a laugh and like people who can see the lighter side of life.
