A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I am a 77 year old woman who is a retired NHS employee living in the Barry area. I value my independence and enjoy having a good support network around me. Due to several long-term health conditions, including Fibromyalgia and mobility difficulties, I need practical assistance with day-to-day tasks and personal care.

Although I use an electric wheelchair and require support with mobility and transfers, I like to remain as active and involved in my daily life as possible. Having the right person supporting me makes a huge difference to my wellbeing.

I am looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable who can become an important part of my support team.
