Hi, I’m Amelia, I am 12 years old and have Down's Syndrome. Although I am non-verbal, I have a bubbly, affectionate nature and can be cheeky at times. I communicate using sign language, some of my own, and I also know some British Sign Language. I have hypermobility issues, which sometimes mean I need to use a wheelchair when I am out. I am looking for a Personal Assistant to help my mum and dad support me and give them a break. I need support for 6 hours per week during term time and 12 hours per week during school holidays. Ideally, I would like support on a Saturday or Sunday, with additional flexible hours during the week. I enjoy playing computer games, doing jigsaws, going outdoors—especially for walks, to the beach, or to farms because I love animals—and watching movies. I also like helping with gardening and small tasks around the house. The support I need includes:
* Taking me to activities
* Some personal care
* Ensuring my safety
I am looking for someone who is:
* Friendly
* Honest and trustworthy
* Reliable
* Flexible
* Sensitive to my moods and needs
* Has a sense of fun
* Moving and assistance training is an advantage
