My personal care:
I am a 47 year old woman in a wheelchair, with both arms and legs paralyzed due to my illness. I live with my husband and 3 school age daughters. I need someone to help me with all my daily activities and to help me take care of my home and family.
I am almost nonverbal due to my illness. I use a computer device to communicate, body language, language shortcuts, spelling and a letter board.
I am very sensitive to all chemicals and perfumes. It is essential that you can come to my home not wearing any fragrances on your body or clothes.
