As written by her….
"Important things to know - I’ve got a dry and cheeky sense of humour, so make sure you are able to have a laugh and don’t get offended easily! When you start working with me, I will talk you through the best way to support me.
In the past, some people have spoken to me in a childish way, so I am looking for someone who will speak to me like the adult that I am.
I’m a dog lover and have a dog of my own so I really hope you love dogs as much as I do.
On weekends - Depending on what I’m doing or who I’m meeting up with you may not have to stay with me. If that's the case then please be contactable on your mobile, so I can contact you in case I need a hand.
I like to wear makeup, particularly eyeliner so if you’re good at makeup then bonus points for you!"
