About the Employer

Hi! I'm a teenager looking for a friendly, fun, and flexible Buddy/PA to spend time with me and help me enjoy the things I love doing. I enjoy going out for walks, visiting the shopping centre, going to the cinema, listening to music, dancing, and swimming. Some days I like to be out and about, while other days I'm happy relaxing at home, so I'm looking for someone who is flexible and happy to do a bit of both. I'm looking for someone who is kind, patient, easy to get along with, and enjoys having a laugh. It would be great if you enjoy joining in with my hobbies, encouraging me to try new things, and supporting me to build my confidence and independence while making sure I stay safe. No two days are the same, so I'm looking for someone who is reliable, positive, and happy to fit in with the things I'd like to do. If you think we'd get along and you'd enjoy spending time with me, I'd love to hear from you!
