I am a lady with MS looking for 2-3 Female PA to support me within the home with my morning routine and helping me get ready for the day and/or in the evening for tea time support. I am chatty and friendly with a great sense of humour. I like making greetings cards and making my garden look lovely. It would be great if you could assist me in my garden so sharing that interest would be an advantage.

I am a wheelchair user but very independent. I will do as much as I am able so a PA that is easy-going and a good listener is important.
