I am a young 70-year-old lady and despite my severe physical disabilities, I have a good sense of humour, and I am very easy to get along with. I don’t like my disability to be the focus of my day, and I like to be busy. Helping me pursue my interests and pastimes which include gardening, miniature crafts, cookery, theatre and spectator sports (TV and live) will be a very important part of your role. I am looking for a compassionate person with plenty of common sense who can help my life run smoothly and help me to get the best out of life.
