About Me (Kaitlin)

I am a very sociable young woman who enjoys my independence, my mum has been a great support, but I am ready to go solo and make my own adventures with the right person supporting me. I love shopping and going out for food, I love a good carbonara at the Italian restaurant. I am naturally a chatterbox and love a good chat about a wide range of topics, I enjoy laughing and having a good belly laugh, whether its about life in general or watching a good comedy together. My epilepsy can be quite severe at times, and I can have absent seizures where even I am unaware that they are happening, but there are tell tale signs that you must look out for. I communicate verbally well, however I do sometime have difficulty pronouncing words so you must be patient and strive to understand certain words I find difficult. I understand everything you say.

My PA must have a good sense of humour and be able to see the funny side of life, I am looking for a long-term PA who I can build a good rapport with and who I can enjoy being around. I must tell you I am a little bit of a Diva, but all the best people are! I would love to hear back from you to see if we could be a double trouble duet, and “Diva” together as we navigate through our adventures.

If this sounds like a role you’d enjoy and you think we’d be a good fit, please apply.

I’m looking for a Personal Assistant for my 10 year old son, Kian, who’s very sociable and friendly. He’s very energetic and a bit of a thrill seeker too, so anyone working with him will need to match his personality. He loves trying and experiencing new things, so this is where I hope a PA can support me, to ensure he gets maximum enjoyment in his life.

He loves to dance to music, and go on big fun fair rides, as well as being a bit of a foodie, so eating out is always welcomed.

He likes having days out at the park and the beach, as well as going swimming and to soft plays. We often use public transport on days out, which adds to the adventure for him.

Kian requires supervision at all times, as he is not aware of dangers around him. He has Down’s Syndrome with other additional needs, including hearing and visual impairments, and some mobility and respiratory issues. His behaviour can be challenging if he becomes frustrated. Any PA will spend time learning from me, to understand how best to support my son.
