I am a friendly, kind, and patient mum of 3, living with Motor Neuron Disease (MND), diagnosed 4 years ago. I am a full-time wheelchair user and am looking for a compassionate and understanding Personal Assistant to support me at home.

I live with my husband and two children, with one child currently away at university. Having a PA will give my family some much‑needed time back, so reliability and a supportive attitude are really important.

I enjoy watching TV, reading and have a good sense of humour. I’m looking for a PA who also has a good sense of humour, is kind, patient, and compassionate, and understands the importance of dignity and respect.

If you are understanding, dependable, have some experience with my condition and would enjoy making a real difference to both me and my family, I’d love to hear from you.
