I’m a chatty, sociable young woman in my early twenties with a visual impairment and epilepsy. I love spending time with family, friends, and my two dogs – being around good company is really important to me. I enjoy puzzles (especially UNO and Sudoku!) and I like to stay active and involved in fun, everyday activities. I would like support to build my confidence in accessing activities, and I need help navigating public transport and planning and managing my diary/appointments. Because I have blindness on my left side, I usually walk with someone on my left for guidance and safety. I am looking for a PA who is friendly, patient and sociable, enjoys being out and about, and can help me feel confident and independent while staying safe. It’s important that my PA is comfortable supporting me during activities such as walking, swimming, bike rides, shopping and social outings and is trained or willing to learn how to assist in case of a seizure.
