**About Me**

I am a 49-year-old lady, married and a Mum to 5 children. We have 2 collie dogs

I love tattoos and have a few, I like watching Romcoms, shopping and socialising

I like the outdoors and being outside, and I also have a keen interest in photography.

I meet my Mum in Newtown regularly and this is important to me. I’m also looking into attending an F.N.D (Functional Neurologic Disorder) group in Bristol.

I have F.N.D and a bone anchored hearing aid.

My PAs will need to be sensitive to my F.N.D and energy levels and recognise when I may have done enough. Do not encourage me to do too much.

I need to find someone willing to be trained by me and follow my instruction on how best to work with me and my fluctuating capabilities and mood.

I am looking to employ a kind person or persons to support me both within my home but also to get out and about, socialise and make new friends

I am up for trying new things and places, life is for living
