I am a 64-year-old woman who uses a wheelchair and am completely blind and I am looking for a friendly, reliable and experienced Personal Assistant to help me stay active and engaged in my community. Your support will primarily involve accompanying me on weekly shopping trips, taking me to the gym, and attending the synagogue a few times each month. You will also help me access other community activities as needed, ensuring I can continue to enjoy an independent and active lifestyle. It's important that you have clear communication skills, as I sometimes have difficulty understanding, so patience and attentiveness are essential. I am looking for someone who is friendly, reliable, and compassionate, and who will enjoy helping me stay connected, active, and involved in the things I love.
