A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
I’m a new mum living in the Canton area of Cardiff. I have a combination of long-term health conditions affecting my spine and energy levels, and may be recovering from spinal surgery soon. I use a power wheelchair for longer distances outdoors to pace my energy. I enjoy art, photography, audiobooks and nature. I’m bilingual in English and French. I’m looking for a personal assistant to support me in looking after my baby and help me manage day to day life at home. We ask visitors to wear high-filtration masks (provided) to keep us all healthy from infection because of my vulnerability as well as that of our new born.
