About Myself

I am a 36-year-old young lady living with my family in the Merthyr Tydfil area.



I have been diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and have a learning disability.



I am looking for a Personal Assistant to help me out of my home to socialise in the local community and give me more independence.



I will also need someone to push my wheelchair for me.



I like to go out and about and I have always been a very sociable woman. I enjoy music, films, colouring in, and anything Harry Potter related. I also like going out for meals, swimming, bowling, cinema, to the park, and going into town and shopping.



I would love the opportunity to mix with her people and access the community and activities of my choice. Most importantly I want to have fun doing the things I enjoy and have support to do those things. I find if I engage in activities, it helps me stay physically and mentally active.



I would like someone friendly and patient as sometimes my communication verbally can be unclear, but I always manage to get my point across. People tell me I have a great sense of humour, and I'm able to use pictures and pointing, facial expression and gesture to support my verbal speech, once you get to know myself you will be able to understand my small vocal able speech.
