Job description

Please note this is not a Swansea city council job. You will be working with a private client who received direct payments.

A little about myself:
I am a 13-year-old, living in Loughor. It takes me a while to work people out, but I will warm to people once I get used to them, you will need to be patient. I am easy going most of the time but sometimes become anxious and when I've had enough, I just want to go. I enjoy playing on my Xbox, kicking a football around at the park, table tennis and badminton. I currently have quite an interest in fitness, looking after myself and am interested in joining a gym. I'd like to explore different ways to exercise safely and would love company doing this. Penyrheol would be my nearest gym. I can at first come across as reserved and not very talkative until I get to know you and I need to build trust. I would like to be treated like a mini adult and not a younger aged child. I do have quick witty banter and can make quick remarks back if you give the banter first. I am bright but sometimes sensitive and things can play on my mind. I am up for a challenge and would like the applicant to be relatively active. I am currently enjoying paddleboarding and I go on very long walks sometimes and I can walk up to 10 miles. If you like walks and exploring and the beach and coastal paths then this would be great.
