As written by the client…

“I’m a chatty social person and so you need to be able to have a good conversation, as well as having a great sense of humour as I love to laugh (and I like to think I’ll be able to make you laugh too).

I am a person who loves to be busy, trying new things and going on all kinds of adventures. Whether that be trying new sports, going to the theatre, quiz nights or walks in nature – I’m usually up for anything. I ultimately like to make the most of life when my health allows.

I have complex physical and mental health needs which require intensive support. This means you will need to be able to respond proactively, calmly and confidently to changes in mental states. This also means that every day is different – but this isn’t a job where you will get bored easily.

I have recently got an assistance dog called Bobby, to help manage my complex conditions. He is a labrador and loves life, but I need help with some of his needs to allow him to thrive in his role.

I’m easy to get along with and enjoy my time in London – and hope you’ll make the most of the opportunity to enjoy it with me!”
