As written by the client.
I have cerebral palsy, a chronic UTI, an overactive thyroid and PTSD. Unfortunately, I had to drop out of my final year of university due to personal reasons. However, I am planning to return to university remotely in September. But in the meantime I continue to live my life to the best I can.
I enjoy going on walks, going to the cinema, listening to music and having a good laugh. I am a kind, funny, thoughtful person who appreciates the little things in life. I try to make this job as straightforward as possible. I also try and make it enjoyable for the both of us. Even though it involves a lot of practical work such as cooking, cleaning, giving me a shower, helping me get dressed, giving me my medication etc it does also have its benefits and every day is different. Some days can be more hands on than others but it all balances itself out as long as we are both willing to work together.
