I am looking for a kind, patient and understanding Personal Assistant to support me in maintaining my independence and enjoying my hobbies. It can take me a little while to build trust, so someone who is consistent and respectful would be ideal.
I have a strong passion for bikes and spend much of my free time cycling around the local area — I especially enjoy riding my BMX. My PA will need to enjoy cycling too and have their own bike, as this is a big part of my weekly routine. I also have a small terrier who needs walking every day, so you’ll need to be comfortable around dogs.
I don’t have a television, but I have a large collection of music CDs which I enjoy listening to. Support will also include helping me get to appointments and assisting with paperwork.
