Who you will be supporting
Hi, I’m supported by SeeAbility in my own home. I’m looking for calm, patient, and positive people to join my team. I love being active and spending time both in the community and at home. Some of my favourite things include zip wires, hydrotherapy, trampolining, walking, and relaxing with my iPad. If you enjoy fun, meaningful activities and making a difference every day, we might be a great match! I have autism, and while my behaviour can sometimes be particularly challenging, I’m looking for someone who can help me live an active, fulfilling life. If you’re physically fit, dependable, and enjoy helping others gain independence, I’d love to meet you!
Come be part of something truly rewarding. Let’s make every day count—together.
