Overview
I am looking for someone to support me for 6 hours per week. I am a young lady living in Peacehaven with my supportive family. I have autism and OCD and can experience high levels of anxiety, and become easily overwhelmed. I am primarily looking for someone to help me in the kitchen, when making decisions and meals, and support me/cooking tasks with gentle encouragement. I sometimes require support with shopping. I would benefit from support to access the community and I may need assistance in using public transport, or to be driven to an appointment on occasion. If you think you have the experience and the patience to support me, I would love to hear from you.
