About our Client
She is a kind, funny and creative person who loves to spend time with her friends, family and spoiled tabby cat. She works from home during the week and likes to spend weekends both at home and out doing things including going to the beach, shopping, volunteering, spending time with friends/family and lots of craft projects!
As written by her …
"When I’m not working, I enjoy being creative and love to crochet. I also watch way too much TV for my own good. If you can think it, I probably watch it, but my favourite show is Law & Order! I spend a lot of time at home, and my PAs need to feel comfortable with that. However, I do enjoy going out and doing things when I’m able to and it’s important that my PAs are willing and able to help me with this. Some of the things I enjoy doing include going to the beach, for walks and drives, out to eat/to cafes, shopping, going to the theatre, hanging out with friends and family, attending family/community events, listening to live music and volunteering.’
