I am a friendly lady living in the area of Dyffryn. I have M.E and so am therefore looking to employ a Personal Assistant to assist me at home with day to day tasks enabling me to remain independence. My condition fluctuates a lot - sometimes I am bedridden, at other times I can move around slowly but spend a lot of time resting. I am housebound the majority of the time. Sometimes I barely have the energy to talk or it is painful to speak due to severe sore throats, and I also suffer from hemiplegic migraines. I am looking for someone who understands and appreciates this and can be patient with my fluctuating needs., I am looking for a permanent PA to join my existing team.
