About Me
I'm a disabled parent looking for someone to support me and my daughter in our day-to-day life. I have limited mobility and energy. My daughter is a gorgeous, sometimes challenging 10-year-old who loves Harry Potter, computer games and dancing. She's autistic, often anxious and has Selective Mutism.
I’m looking for somebody to join the little team of people who help us live a wonderful life despite my illness.
